On January 22, Tate will host a free online and in-person symposium, Building an International Knowledge Network: Ten Years of the Brooks International Fellowship.
Following an incredible decade-long successful partnership with the Rory and Elizabeth Brooks Foundation and Delfina Foundation, Tate is excited to mark this definitive milestone of the Brooks International Fellowship with a free major international symposium.
Since 2014, Brooks International Fellows have been at the forefront of research at Tate, showcasing the range of research activities across the organization. These international visual arts professionals have collaborated with Tate in a variety of disciplines, including curatorial, learning, community and partnerships, collection care, research and interpretation, digital practice, and visitor communications.
This event brings together former fellows and those who have hosted them at Tate and Delfina Foundation, tracing how the fellowship has opened Tate’s practices to international voices and enabling engagement with innovative practices developed in other parts of the world.
The symposium also considers the broader significance and impact of the research carried out by this remarkable “Knowledge Network.” Sessions explore themes that resonate with the fellows, including Socially Engaged Practices, Community Building, Friendship, Internationalism, and Transnationalism. How are these themes traced across multiple disciplines and practices, across a myriad of regional nuances and perspectives?
Hosted by Tate Research and curated by Jess Sully, Brooks International Fellowship Programme Manager, the symposium will take place online and in person at Tate Modern in London, England, on January 22.

The Brooks International Fellowship and the symposium are made possible by the generous support of the Rory and Elizabeth Brooks Foundation.
