Tate Modern Talk

Tate Edit Talks Chila Kumari Singh Burman meets Frances Morris

10 December 2021 at 19.00–21.00
Chila Kumari Singh Burman stands in front of her neon artwork.

Join us as Chila Kumari Singh Burman and Frances Morris explore the Hindu mythology, colonial history and personal memories that inspire her work.

Afterwards, immerse yourself in Burman's vibrant vision at Tate Edit, where you can taste Burman's ice cream, a mango and cardamom kulfi made for Tate, and named after her father's ice cream van business.

Chila Burman is celebrated internationally for her radical feminist practice, spanning printmaking, drawing, painting, installation and film. Her Punjabi and Liverpudlian heritage enrich her self-expressive work. She mashes up stereotypes to create new identities, beyond the limitations imposed on South Asian women in a British cultural context.

Frances Morris is Director of Tate Modern.
