  • Accessibility

Join the Schools and Teachers team for a free evening of art, ideas for your classroom and conversation.

We warmly welcome you to join us for this after-hours social event, especially designed for teachers.

Enjoy free entry to a major exhibition of contemporary African photography, take part in a creative activity, and pick up teaching resources.

Our Tate Teachers Private Views are a celebration of teaching and how art can be used to support classroom practice across the curriculum.

What to expect

At this event you will be able to meet the Schools and Teachers team to hear all about what we can offer you and your students. The event will also include:

  • Exclusive access to A World in Common: Contemporary African Photography, a major exhibition exploring themes of identity, urbanism and climate emergency
  • An activity exploring how you could take the themes from the exhibition back to your classroom
  • A Teachers' Area for socialising with colleagues and peers
  • An introduction to our teaching resources and digital offer for schools

Who is this event for?

The Schools and Teachers team believe that all young people should see themselves reflected in everything they encounter, both at Tate and in their classrooms. Working with teachers to best support young people to thrive, we celebrate difference and take a proactive, anti-discriminatory stance in all that we do.

We particularly welcome teachers from the Global Majority, Disabled teachers, and teachers in SEND schools or alternative provisions to attend.

This event is relevant for teachers of any subject and will bring together professionals at any stage of their career, from a range of learning settings and specialisms.

Our Private Views are accessible to all. To discuss any specific access needs please call +44 (0)20 7887 8888 (select Option 3) or email schoolsandteachers@tate.org.uk

All Tate Modern entrances are step-free. Entrance to the event will be via the Blavatnik Building on Sumner Street.

There are lifts to every floor of Tate Modern. Alternatively you can take the stairs.

  • Fully accessible toilets are located on every floor on the concourses. Tate Modern also has a Changing Places facility.
  • A quiet room will be available to use throughout if space away from the event is required.
  • Ear defenders can be borrowed for the event.
  • There are 12 accessible parking spaces for disabled visitors, accessed via Park Street. Please let us know if you would like to book one.
