ASSEMBLY at Tate Modern
ASSEMBLY is a large-scale schools event which invited 1500 school children and their teachers from across London to participate in a take-over style event at Tate Modern on Thursday 13 June 2019 taking the question Why Study Art? as a starting point. This iteration of the event built on the momentum of ASSEMBLY 2016 and ASSEMBLY 2018 to champion the right to a critically engaged arts education for all young people.
The day offered encounters with four artists across the Blavatnik Building for the specially invited audience between 10:00 - 13:00 as well as each school being allocated an A is For… artist-devised student resource.
Artist Gary Stewart performed a live VJ set throughout the day in the Turbine Hall which was broadcasted into the Natalie Bell Building via live feed.
