Memory and Transformation
Chila Kumari Singh Burman (b. 1957) is celebrated internationally for her radical feminist practice, drawing on Punjabi and Liverpudlian heritage in multimedia works. For this yearâs Winter Commission at Tate Britain, the artist has transformed the front of the gallery building into a celebration of bright lights and swirling colour.
Remembering a Brave New World transforms
the figure of Britannia, a symbol of British imperialism, into Kali, the Hindu goddess of liberation and power.

In February 2016, a friend forwarded me an email announcing Tate was looking for Volunteers. I knew very little about Contemporary Art, but Tate was accommodating in teaching us.
I have been a professional photographer since 1985, covering News, PR and Corporate events – Steve Daszko
I was Volunteer Visitor Host at Tate Modern for three years and then switched to Tate Britain, where I still am part of the team.
When the first lockdown started in March last year, Tate, like all Art Galleries, suffered. Towards the end of last year, I decided to undertake my own photo project entitled “Museums and Art Galleries in lockdown”, only shooting images at night, when it became clear that the lockdown was here to stay.
