TateLates

A living archive of nights shaped by sound, art and the people who gather after dark.

Global Roots has programmed music and cultural experiences at Tate Modern across exhibitions, spaces and formats. The objects here are part of that visual language: speakers, moving images and experiments made for the nights.

The programme

Beyond the
line-up.

From exhibition-led listening sessions to the Turbine Hall, the Tanks, the Terrace and beyond, the programme has treated music as a way to open up art and public space.

Global Roots continues as an active music and cultural programme within TheGRIN.io. These Tate nights are part of its history and its ongoing practice.
