A panel discussion bringing together artists Faustin Linyekula, Okwui Okpokwasili and Tanya Lukin Linklater alongside the BMW Tate Live Exhibition

At the end of ten days and six nights of performances across Tate Modern, join us for this unique opportunity to hear directly from artists Faustin Linyekula, Okwui Okpokwasili and Tanya Lukin Linklater as they discuss shared concerns around memory, history, inheritance and the cyclical nature of time across diverse contexts.

The talk will be followed by a ticketed performance of women: iskwewak by Tanya Lukin Linklater in the Tanks.
