Emin has redefined autobiography in contemporary practice. Using the female body as a powerful tool, she challenges boundaries and confronts love, loss, sex, illness and identity with unflinching honesty. Her new landmark exhibition, A Second Life, offers a powerful survey of her work across four decades: from raw, confessional early pieces to more recent paintings and sculptures shaped by survival, resilience and renewal
In partnership with the Tate Modern and Tate Modern Lates, we’re inviting you to hear directly from one of Britain’s most provocative and influential contemporary artists. In this special event, she’ll sit down with the Guardian’s chief culture writer, Charlotte Higgins, to reflect on her life in art, the ideas behind her newest exhibition and the experiences that continue to shape her work.
This livestream event will give you front-row access from wherever you are in the world, live and on-demand.
