My rukus! Heart: Live

19 October 2024 at 16.00–23.00

Topher Campbell

Celebrate the joy and chaos of Topher Campbell’s exhibition My rukus! Heart at Tate Modern with a special programme of talks, live performances and music

Join us as we expand and explore Topher Campbell’s new commission in an installation of rukus!, a ‘living history’ of the UK’s Black LGBTQ community. This programme is a live embodiment of Black Queer life through a roundtable discussion digging into the content of rukus!, a series of live responses through poetry, sound, movement, and finally a celebration with music to embody the spirit of chaos and anarchy.

This event is organised by Hyundai Tate Research Centre: Transnational in partnership with Hyundai Motor

All Tate Modern entrances are step-free. You can enter via the Turbine Hall and into the Natalie Bell Building on Holland Street, or into the Blavatnik Building on Sumner Street.

There are lifts to every floor of the Blavatnik and Natalie Bell buildings. Alternatively you can take the stairs.
