Spread Your Wings
14-17 May
Join us to transform raw materials into something meaningful that can take flight –metaphorically and transformatively. Take a place in our bird tunnel where we will create a fantastical aviary. Or make a feather to add to our giant wings so we can soar, while reflecting on human limitations and the migration of birds.
Where Does You Mind Take You?
14-17 May
Create your footprints by using collages to show how you can break boundaries and move without limitation. Ask yourself: Where is your most memorable place? Where are you now? If you could go anywhere, where would you go? Design a pair of footprints and that might march over the walls or floor of Tate Exchange.
Waterloo Lives
14-17 May
We have been collecting the memories from Waterloo and North Lambeth residents which we have embedded into a map. We would like you join us to trace our streets to explore the personal histories located in them. You can make postcards to hang on our clothes-line of local narratives, and share your own stories of the area or placed-based memories from elsewhere.
The Globe
14-17 May
Explore how ideas move around by adding to our installation of individually constructed spinning globes, representing the way that cultural knowledge and positivity does not stand still. We invite you to exchange your message for someone else’s in a constant flow between strangers.
Shoes to Superpowers
15-17 May
If your footwear had special powers what would they be? Transform our stash of old shoes into things that can remake the universe, go places and do tantalising things.
