‘Journeys of Belonging' at Tate Britain
Tate Britain, Film Programme
27 January  2025 Curated ‘Journeys of Belonging’ film programme responding to 2024 Turner Prize nominee Delaine Le Bas. The programme drew on themes of nomadism and exile recurring in Delaine Le Bas’ work, reflecting on her British Romani heritage in films exploring land, nationhood, cultural mythologies, and a search for belonging. Featuring films by Leonor Teles, the Karrabing Film Collective, Gelare Khoshgozaran, Jonathas de Andrade, and the Romano Lav youth group these works traverse borders and boundaries, offering profound reflections on displacement, migration, and cultural resistance.

Vibrating with acts of transgression and radical care in the face of xenophobia, dispossession, and bordering, the films reveal how stories and knowledges are passed across generations and geographies for the nomadic and exiled. They show us how home is continually made and remade–and how communities on the margins create belonging through art, tradition, and shared acts of survival.

This was the first event in ‘History Reverberates’ project curated by Ese Onojuero, responding to each of the four 2024 Turner Prize nominees on display at the Tate Britain to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Turner prize.
