Explore themes from Tate Modern’s A World in Common exhibition in a day of exhibition tours, talks and workshops

Join artist Sunil Shah on a workshop creating and re-appropriating images from your own archives based on the A World in Common exhibition. You will learn about the artist's practice before walking through the exhibition to find inspiration to create a new narrative and archive in a practical workshop.

Participants should bring in some prints or images from their own personal archive or some images from another archive.

Artists Fikayo Adebajo and Aisha Seriki, will then delve into themes of personal and collective cultural mythologies and archive as practice.

Workshop participants are asked to bring one or two items of personal or cultural significance. If you are able to please also bring a smartphone or camera.

No skills or prior knowledge are required and lunch will be provided.

Sunil Shah

Sunil Shah is an artist, writer and PhD researcher based in Oxford, UK. His research interests include Documenta11, contemporary art, art and photographic histories, postcoloniality in art practice, the politics of representation and archival practices. He is Editor of Neither magazine and has written extensively on photography for American Suburb X and FOAM Magazine. He has curated several exhibitions and has had solo exhibitions of his work at the New Art Exchange in Nottingham, UK, and the Pitt Rivers Museum in Oxford, UK.

Fikayo Adebajo

London based photographer and visual artist centring joy, intimacy and community as the new visual language of representation for black communities.

Aisha Seriki

Aisha Seriki is a Nigerian, London-based multimedia artist specialising in fine art photography.

Aisha’s interest in photography stems from her father's obsession with documentation; specifically that of all her significant childhood events. Aisha’s creative practice is driven by both imagination and experience. Grounded by the spirit of Sankofa, her practice invokes the historical past as a method to understand the present realities of existence.
