Audio Description: Global Voices The City as subject

Join this audio description tour and discover our Living Cities display

Artists around the world and through history have examined and explored cities. Join artist Rachel Gadsden for an audio description tour which considers themes relating to migration, the lingering flight of the refugee, and how the reality and complexity of urban life become the artistic inspiration for the creative process. This tour includes descriptions of key works in the Living Cities display.

Rachel Gadsden is a British artist who is exhibited internationally and who works across the mainstream and disability art sectors, presenting cross-cultural visual dialogues that consider the most profound notions of what it is to be human.

Sighted companions and guide dogs are welcome. Please join us in the Community Room (in the Blavatnik building, next to Terrace Café) for tea and coffee from 15.30 before the tour.

If you have any other access needs that you would like to let us know about please contact: Anna Murray, Assistant Curator: Access anna.murray@tate.org.uk or call +44 (0)20 7887 8888
