A series of out of hours events for disabled and neurodiverse visitors to experience the artist Yayoi Kusama’s work created while she lived in New York, between 1957 and 1973

Mindful Making with Funmi Lijadu

Join us on Tuesday 25 July from 18.00 to 20.00 to explore your surrealist inner worlds through the calming and meditative practice of collage-making. Led by collage artist Funmi Lijadu, be inspired by Kusama's infamous dots and mirrors to create your own paper infinities. This workshop will use recycled materials, and you are encouraged to take your creations home with you.

About Kusama in America: Access Hours

These events are organised and supported by neurodiverse aware Tate staff. Enjoy a quiet gallery environment with additional dedicated quiet zones, limited numbers of people and so very short or no queues, and the opportunity to go through the two installation rooms as many times as you would like.

These events are open to anyone who may be on the Autistic spectrum, has Tourette syndrome, ADD, ADHD, OCD, anxiety, sensory difficulties or disabilities.

These events are part of the Kusama in America: Access Programme, a durational series of events coinciding with the Yayoi Kusama: Infinity Mirror Rooms exhibition at Tate Modern.

This event is part of the Terra Foundation for American Art Series: New Perspectives

Funmi Lijadu

Funmi Lijadu is a writer and artist with an interest in social issues, identity and surrealism. She has been commissioned by clients including the Tate and Tinder. Her articles are wide-ranging and tackle issues surrounding culture, gender and climate justice. Her work has been published in Cosmopolitan, gal-dem, Metro UK and many more. She believes that the concept of mental well-being is an evergreen and increasingly urgent due to the demands and reality of our world today.

All Tate Modern entrances are step-free. For this event please use the Blavatnik Building entrance on Sumner street.

The Exhibition is on Level 4 of the Blavatnik Building. There are lifts to every floor of the Blavatnik and Natalie Bell buildings. Alternatively you can take the stairs.
