Celebrate the return of Tate Britain’s Queer and Now festival dedicated to the powerful role of LGBTQIA+ art and culture in the UK

Featuring a compelling cast of artists, cultural producers, and thinkers, we’ll be placing queerness at the heart of the gallery.

This year's programme will surface urgent queer conversations visible in Tate Britain's brand-new collection displays. The temporary exhibition programme will explore powerful themes of desire, history and culture in the filmmaking of Isaac Julien and the radical romance of the Rossettis.

From morning to late, our spaces will be activated by free performances, pop-up talks, making workshops, family events, DJs, films and readings from artists rooted in the UK’s queer community and its histories.
