Voice/s in the Museum – Call for Papers

Tate


Closing: 13th October ’25

Tate Papers is seeking scholarly contributions exploring the role of art museum interpretation in serving audiences, artists and institutions. The call focuses on how museums can tell culturally inclusive stories of art and address complex expectations placed on them today. Contributors can examine challenges in museum interpretation practice, provide case studies on emerging practices, consider ethical justifications for new approaches, and explore how museums can achieve more equitable storytelling when discussing historically excluded artists. Areas of focus include sharing interpretive authority with artists and communities, presenting histories of radicalism and protest, and approaches that centre multiple perspectives.
