Tate gallery is presenting ‘What Freedom Is To Me’, by Isaac Julien, one of the foremost visionaries in contemporary cinema and art, on display until August 20th.

Isaac Julien, born in Britain in 1960, is an accomplished filmmaker and installation artist who completed his education at Central Saint Martin’s School of Art. His 1989 film, ‘Looking for Langston’, set amidst the 1920s Harlem Renaissance, investigates black and gay identities. Julien gained prominence with his 1991 film, ‘Young Soul Rebels’, which won the Semaine de la Critique prize at Cannes. His ability to fuse different art forms like film, music, and sculpture allows him to create striking visual stories. His work often examines class, sexuality, and culture, as in his documentary ‘BaadAsssss Cinema’.

Now, an exhibition is set to feature Julien’s work from the early 1980s to today, including themes of desire, history, and migration. This marks the first full display of Julien’s extensive career in the UK.

Tate gallery aims to enrich the public’s appreciation and comprehension of British art spanning from the 16th century to the present day and of international modern and contemporary art.
