The Grand Southwark Showcase

The Grand Southwark Showcase © Community Southwark

Films, workshops, performances and volunteering opportunities. Find out about the wonderful world of civil society in Southwark, and how you can get involved

Come and join us at Tate Exchange for an afternoon showcasing some of the fantastic civil society groups making Southwark a better place. You will have the opportunity to take part in workshops, view films and performances by local makers and groups, and speak to charities to find out about their work and how you can get involved as a volunteer.

We will have a rolling show reel of films by local makers with a particular focus on female filmmakers tackling a range of issues from regeneration, to gentrification, diversity and creativity. This is presented in partnership with South Social Film Festival.

Meet local charities

Discover the amazing work of some of our local charities in Southwark. There will be a marketplace of stalls from local organisations where you can find out more about activities in the borough and how you can get involved. You will also be able to read inspiring stories about volunteers who have given their time locally.

Organisations include: Community Southwark, Time and Talents, Bede House, Link Age Southwark, DePaul, Free to be Kids, South Social Film Festival, Coin Street Neighbourhood Centre, Shakespeare's Globe, Blackfriars Settlement, Healthwatch Southwark.

Community Southwark is an independent charity that exists to support a thriving voluntary and community sector in the London borough of Southwark. We have over 600 members that are all not-for-profit organisations. We deliver training and 1:1 support for organisations and help people get connected to community activity in their local area through volunteering advice and community action networks.
This event brings together a selection of some of our members to showcase a sample of the breadth of community life in the borough.

The Grand Southwark Showcase relates to the current Turbine Hall commission developed by Tania Bruguera. In exploring community driven responses to global political crisis, Tania brought together a group of 21 people who live or work in the same postcode as Tate Modern. They are called the Tate Neighbours, who explored how the museum can learn from and adapt to its local community.

This event is an opportunity to further explore the wider neighbours of the Tate for a day and pose the question to visitors of Tate Exchange ‘How can you be an engaged citizen?’.
