Artstories With Virginia Commonwealth University

16–21 July 2019 at 14.00–17.00

Collaborate and create counter-narratives using altered books

Artstories@Tate uses the medium of altered books to collaborate on the creation of counter narratives as a means of promoting hope and healing in marginalised and overlooked communities rich in human assets. Visitors will engage in the theme of movement by examining how their community’s past has shaped its present, and their hopes for a more equitable and inclusive future.
