Item type:Presentation, Building an International Knowledge Network: Ten Years of the Brooks International Fellowship(2026-02-05)TateSince 2014, Brooks International Fellows have been at the forefront of research at Tate, showcasing the range of research activity taking place across the organisation. These international visual arts professionals have collaborated with Tate in a range of disciplines including curatorial, learning, community and partnerships, collection care, research and interpretation, digital practice and visitor communications. On 22 January 2025, Tate hosted a major symposium to mark the definitive milestone of an incredible decade-long successful partnership with the Rory and Elizabeth Brooks Foundation and Delfina Foundation. This event, which took place at Tate Modern and online, brought together former Fellows and those who have hosted them at Tate and Delfina Foundation. The event traced how the Fellowship has opened Tate’s practices to international voices, enabling engagement with innovative practices developed in other parts of the world. The symposium also considered the broader significance and impact of the research. Sessions explored themes which resonate with the Fellows, including Socially Engaged Practices, Community Building, Friendship, Internationalism and Transnationalism. The event sought to trace these themes across multiple disciplines and practices, across a myriad of regional nuances and perspectives. The event was convened by Brooks International Fellowship Programme Manager Jess Sully.

Item type:Presentation, Rethinking Modernism in North Africa and the Arab World(2026-02-05)Khaymaz, Sheyda AishaConvened by Sheyda Aisha Khaymaz, 2024 Brooks International Fellow in Tate Modern Curatorial, Rethinking Modernism in North Africa and the Arab World took place at the Starr Cinema, Tate Modern, London, on 20 November 2024. In The Darker Side of Modernity (2011), Walter Mignolo impugns the dichotomy between modernity and tradition, propounding that these concepts are framed within a Western perspective that positions ‘modernity’ and the ‘West’ as constructs that necessitated the invention of ‘tradition’ and the ‘Orient’. Numerous scholars, Naoki Sakai prominently among them, have likewise contested the applicability of the term ‘modern’ across the board, going as far as to declare modernity inherently and irredeemably Eurocentric and its discourses less than innocent.â In twentieth-century Europe, artists addressed the problem of representation by launching a complete break from the past, a creed manifest in the iconoclastic experiments of the avant-gardes. Clement Greenberg similarly described modern painting as the ‘devolution of a tradition’, which focused primarily on technique and medium. Greenberg’s articulation of modernist art as a reflexive, medium-specific exercise led to the centring of painting in modernist discourse and the hierarchisation of modernist expressions, with abstraction being particularly privileged. Rupture-centric, self-referential conceptualisations alike have since become a benchmark in the study of aesthetic modernism and, in turn, redounded to a distorted understanding of the various idiosyncratic modernist sensibilities in cultures around the world. These sensibilities involved a negotiation that reflected not only innovation but also a continuity of tradition, but they also often deviated from the convention of oil paint on canvas. The presenters addressed how artists from northern Africa and the Arab world engaged with Indigenous epistemes and traditional visual forms alongside other cultural vernaculars such as oral storytelling, muralism, functional objects, and ephemera. They considered how these artists responded to the socio-political events of their time, particularly revolutions that ended European colonisation and inaugurated nation-states. Additionally, they examined how postcolonial histories have shaped modern art in this region, as well as the impact of local and transnational exchanges, art schools, pedagogies, and collective efforts focused on solidarity. The symposium brought these considerations into focus, reassessing and complicating our understanding of aesthetic modernism. It also built on Tate Modern’s In the Studio display ‘The Shape of Words’, facilitating discussions and further explorations of the display’s thematic remit.

Item type:Presentation, GREENART Public training on cleaning(2025-09-18)TateGREENART proposes new solutions, based on green and sustainable materials and methods, and on the elaboration of advanced tools, to preserve, conserve and restore cultural heritage. The main objective is to produce safe and effective solutions for the remedial and preventive conservation of cultural heritage, based on environmentally friendly and low impact materials made from renewable natural sources or recycled waste. The training organized by the European project GREENART and TATE aimed to explore the consortium activities, to spread knowledge generated during the development of the project within academic, professional, potential users and industrial domains in addition to upskill key stakeholders and staff on the use of the novel materials/tools/solutions applied to the conservation of cultural heritage. The training focused on two essential sections: (1) Lectures and presentations on the theoretical, research and implementation aspects of the novel materials and solutions (2) Demonstrations around the application methodologies and the use of some developed technologies and tools2 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
