GB · International contemporary art platformOn 25 September 2026, Tate Modern Lates focused on the work and legacy of Ana Mendieta, a Cuban-American artist recognised for her impact on contemporary art. The event offered visitors an evening of music, creative workshops, film screenings, and other activities inspired by Mendieta’s artistic practice.
The museum extended its opening hours for this occasion, providing a unique setting for attendees to engage with Mendieta’s work. One of the featured activities was Tate Draw, a digital drawing workshop held in the Starr Foyer and Natalie Bell Building, where participants could create their own digital artworks using sketch pads.
The event was organised in collaboration with the Estate of Ana Mendieta and co-curated by Tate Modern’s international art curators. This Lates formed part of a broader programme highlighting Mendieta’s influence and artistic legacy.
By dedicating a Tate Modern Lates to Mendieta, the museum enabled audiences to experience her work through multiple artistic forms and interactive experiences. The programme emphasised the ongoing relevance of Mendieta’s themes and techniques within contemporary art.
Tate Modern’s decision to open after hours for this event reflects its commitment to providing diverse and engaging cultural programmes that deepen public understanding of significant artists.
