British rapper Little Simz has been tapped as the next guest curator of the Tate Modern Lates series of after-hour events. Launched in 2016, Tate Lates features a mix of panel discussions, music, workshops and performances — previously enlisting collective BBZ London and Canadian artist Megan Rooney for curatorial duties, as well as showcasing DJ sets by Floating Points and Nabihah Iqbal, amongst others.

“Since launching in 2016, Tate Modern Lates have become a cornerstone of London’s artistic nightlife,” Jessye Bloomfield, the series’s creative producer, told Artnet. “Little Simz is bringing an incredible line-up that celebrates London’s creative talent and the artists and collectives who inspire her.”

It’ll be a night to remember as Simz will take over the institution from 6pm to 10pm, starting with three artists workshops from writer Caroline Adeyemi in the Blavatnik building, bodywork classes by artist Fiona Quadri and movement specialist Ayanna Birch, as well as a dance class by Simz’ choreographer Kloé Dean in the South Tank.

Tickets to Tate Lates is free, but visitors must RSVP in advance. The event will take place on Saturday, August 31 from 6pm to 10pm.
