Open Call; Tate Papers

Tate Papers is seeking contributions exploring the role of art museum interpretation in serving audiences, artists and institutions. Possible areas of focus include:

– Examining the current challenges involved in museum interpretation practice
– Considering the ethical, intellectual and financial justifications for new approaches to developing texts for exhibition and displays
– Providing case studies on emerging museum interpretation practice
– Mapping potential methodologies

Tate Papers welcomes reflections on how museums can strive for more equitable and balanced storytelling when discussing artists who have been historically excluded from mainstream art histories. Tate Papers also invites contributions that consider how interpretation practices might attend to the needs of audience and to the well-being of museum staff.

Submissions due 13 October 2025. More details via IKT News: link in bio
