Isaac Julien: What Freedom Is To Me at Tate Britain

The first major UK survey of the artist's career-to-date
April 3, 2023

Opening April 26, Tate Britain marks Sir Isaac Julien's first major UK survey of the Artist's expansive body of work.

 

This ambitious solo exhibition reveals the scope of Julien’s pioneering work in film and installation from the early 1980s through to the present day. The exhibition highlights Julien's critical thinking and the way his work breaks down barriers between different artistic disciplines, drawing from film, dance, photography, music, theatre, painting and sculpture by utilising the themes of desire, history and culture.

 

The exhibition will present works from early films to large-scale, multi-screen installations which investigate the movement of peoples across different continents, times and spaces. Isaac Julien’s work across forty years will be presented for the first time in the UK.

 

Isaac Julien: What Freedom Is To Me opens April 26 and closes August 20, 2023
