Join us for an evening considering what happens when connections between land and people are severed

Hostile Environments is an evening of performance, poetry and debate. The event explores the structural conditions of climate colonialism as they affect indigenous and diasporic communities. This assembly is a chance to imagine what a more equitable, accountable and reparative vision of environmental justice might be. Hostile Environments is organised in response to Gathering Ground: Art in the Time of Ecological Crisis.

The Programme features performances and poetry by Khalid Abdalla and Sunnah Khan. Imani Jacqueline Brown, Radha D’Souza, Nadine El-Enany will speak on their activist and research practices. A discussion will follow, chaired by David Birkin and Max Houghton, co-founders of University of the Arts London research hub Visible Justice.

This event is organised in partnership with UAL: London College of Communication.

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.

  • Fully accessible toilets are located on every floor on the concourses.
  • A quiet room is available to use in the Natalie Bell Building on Level 4.
  • Ear defenders can be borrowed from the Ticket desks.
