°Õ²¹³Ù±ð’s ‘Family Gallery’ will share ongoing research into how we can work more closely with families and their unique traditions and cultures to create more accessible galleries. Families who live within walking distance of the museum will be supported in exploring the collection from the position of the artist, researcher and curator through a series of four workshops. Led by the researcher Damali Ibreck, Senior Curator Molly Molloy and Assistant Curator Katherine Eves in collaboration with an invited artist, the workshops will bring together two families to co-create an interactive exhibition for audiences of all ages to enjoy. The exhibition will be open to the public as part of the between 6 and 15 November 2025.

This project sees Tate continuing its partnership with the Cardinal Hume Centre, London, following on and directly building on research developed as part of . Led by Curator Jean Tormey, the programme examines how to unlock the social value of cultural spaces for families. In addition this project forms part of the research being undertaken by the PhD candidate Damali Ibreck on experiences of complex, transcultural lived and inherited memory within diaspora communities, questioning how these experiences might influence and shape new models of working and connecting with and within the arts institution.

The Family Gallery provides space to test ways of working in partnership that supports the development of individual family members across generations and the family as a whole. The resulting interactive public exhibitions, trails and activities will connect with the redesign of Tate Britain’s Story Space, which launches in September 2025. The collaboration aims to democratise access to knowledge, co-create content and shape dialogues around family engagement for broader audiences.
