Soapbox: How much do we need to know?

9 September 2015 at 12.00–14.00

How much do we need to know? Can we understand an artwork when both the artist and the artwork are absent?

Taking the temporary BP Spotlight Display by Charlotte Moth as a starting point, we explore how we interpret and understand an artwork through its context.

What is soapbox?

Soapbox at Tate Britain is an opportunity for people near or beyond the age of 60 to meet, to air opinions and share discussions on life and art.

Soapbox explores links between social issues that are important to you and the work of artists from our collection that are on display at Tate Britain. Soapbox will challenge your thinking and offer you the chance to say what you feel in a supportive and friendly group.
