This summer, we’ve brought together visual and verbal expression to transform our Galleries into a platform for emotional reflection, creative freedom, and new perspectives.

In collaboration with London-born rapper, poet and spoken word Artist, George the Poet, and the Mayor of London’s Violence Reduction Unit (VRU), we’re proud to present a powerful new way to experience the masterpieces inside our immersive galleries.

Explore an exclusive preview of spoken word pieces written and performed by young voices from the VRU, alongside a special piece from George the Poet and learn how you can get involved through our summer workshops, Lates workshop on 29 August, and #SummerOfExpression competition.

One Night Only: Lates Workshop

Come along to FRAMELESS Lates, on Friday 29 August, where award-winning poet Deanna Rodger will take over our Blank Canvas Gallery to host an adults-only spoken word workshop.

This is included in your Lates ticket, so you can wander the Galleries with drink in hand and drop-in throughout the evening at no extra cost.
