SUMMARY:African Modernism and Afro-Surrealism - a guided tour at the Tate Modern 2026
DESCRIPTION:African Modernism and Afro-Surrealism – a guided tour at the Tate Modern 2026\nAt this IIL inclusion and diversity event at the Tate Modern\, tour guide Nadia Denton offers a unique perspective on contemporary art\, framed through the lens of African Modernism and Afro-Surrealism. \nAfrican Modernism\, a movement which refers to African artists influenced by Western modernist concepts\, is characterised by a unique imagery infused with traditional African influences. By contrast\, Afro-Surrealism is a cultural aesthetic that places emphasis on uncovering the invisible world and engaging audiences in highly imaginative and dramatic ways to reflect the global black experience. This tour includes the work of: \n\nSimone Leigh\, whose work examines ideas of the female body\, race\, beauty and community\nPacita Abad\, who took inspiration from African masks\, and re-interpreted this into elaborate textile works\nIbrahim El-Salahi\, whose work is inspired by Arabic and African sensibilities\, forms and iconography\nConceptual artist Meschac Gaba’s whose Art and Religion Room From Museum of Contemporary African Art challenges notions of what’s perceived as art and religious artefact\n\nPhotos are allowed on this tour – just no video or audio recording\, please. \n		\n\n							\n					Share this event with your colleagues:\n				 \n			\n			\n\n								\n		\n\n							\n\n					\n						\n						 \n					\n						\n							\n\n							\n																Facebook\n									\n						\n\n											\n					\n									\n							\n\n					\n						\n						 \n					\n						\n							\n\n							\n																Twitter\n									\n						\n\n											\n					\n									\n							\n\n					\n						\n						 \n					\n						\n							\n\n							\n																LinkedIn\n									\n						\n\n											\n					\n									\n							\n\n					\n						\n						 \n					\n						\n							\n\n							\n																Email\n									\n						\n\n											\n					\n									\n			\n					\n		\n			\n		\n		Visit Event Website
