Story Space Read Aloud: Erika Meza

6 May 2023 at 14.00–15.30

© Pedro Meza

Meet an author/illustrator, hear their story and make animal masks together

Meet Mexican author Erika Meza and listen to her story about two young siblings' journey across the Mexican/ US border in To the Other Side.

Hear how, wearing colourful masks for courage and speed, the siblings stay on the move - relying on each other as they attempt to reach their difficult goal.  

Stay for drawing, dress-up and a playful animal mask workshop with the author. 

Author Erika Meza migrated from the border of Tijuana and San Diego, Mexico in 2013, spending time studying in Paris and eventually settling in London, where she lives and works as an author/ illustrator today. Other titles include As Brave as a Lion and the illustration of My Two Border Towns and Balloons for Papa. 

Tate Britain's step-free entrance is on Atterbury Street. It has automatic sliding doors and there is a ramp down to the entrance with central handrails.

This event is in the Manton Studio, which is next to the ticket desk as you enter the gallery.

There is a lift between the Lower and Main floors. Alternatively you can take the stairs.

  • Accessible and standard toilets are located on the Lower floor.
  • A Changing Places toilet is not currently available.
  • Ear defenders can be borrowed from the ticket desk on the Lower floor.

To help plan your visit to Tate Britain, have a look at our visual story. It includes photographs and information about what you can expect from a visit to the gallery.
