Bring your own picnic or pick up some food from the café and enjoy an indoor picnic and playful activities at Tate Modern. You can draw on the Turbine Hall floor and on banners among the theatrical pine forest of UNIQLO Tate Play: Ei Arakawa's Mega Please Draw Freely.
Take part in interactive performances led by Arakawa. Children and young people will take the lead, guiding the artist and participants in a dance to create a collective circle drawing across the Turbine Hall floor.
Experience the special recreation of Gutai artist Motonaga Sadamasa’s performance work, Work (Smoke) 1957, which creates art from puffing giant smoke rings into the air, illuminated by coloured lights.
Outside Tate Modern by the river Thames you can also take part in recreating Yoshihara Jirō’s Please Draw Freely which inspired Ei Arakawa’s take over in the Turbine Hall.
