You’re invited to step into our hands-on studio and discover your own idea of home through making, playing and connecting. Try making marks, patterns and shapes, or experiment with textures to reflect the places, people and moments that matter to you and your family. You might draw inspiration from where you have come from, from places you love, or from the things that make you feel at home.
Inspired by artists who use colour, shape, pattern and layers to tell stories of memory, belonging and place, this space welcomes you to bring your own story to life. Everyone is invited to contribute to a shared artwork that will grow over time. Designed for all ages, this is a space to connect across generations and explore the many ways we create, carry and celebrate our sense of home together.
What is a Relaxed Hour?
This session is primarily for neurodivergent children and adults, and any other visitors with sensory needs who prefer a more relaxed experience, plus their families, friends and carers. Those who are looking for a playful-yet-still-relaxing hour to start the day can visit the space – just with smaller groups so we can support any additional needs you might have.
Resources will be available on the day including:
- Access Station
- Ear defenders
- A quiet breakout space
- Fewer people in the space and smaller groups
Tate staff will be aware that this is an access hour and will take that into consideration as they look after you and the artwork.
All Tate Modern entrances are step-free. You can enter via the Turbine Hall and into the Natalie Bell Building on Holland Street, or into the Blavatnik Building on Sumner street.
There are lifts to every floor of the Blavatnik and Natalie Bell buildings. Alternatively you can take the stairs.
- Fully accessible toilets are located on every floor on the concourses.
- A quiet room is available to use in the Natalie Bell Building on Level 4.
- Ear defenders can be borrowed from the Ticket desks.
