Go on a listening adventure with local families to discover the 1910 gallery at Tate Britain. 
Immerse yourselves in their stories and be inspired to create your own.

Families from Pimlico Primary School have worked together to develop, perform and record a tour that takes the form of a story about a flooded village where multiple languages are spoken. Connecting artworks in the 1910 gallery, the sonic trail includes the voices and words of families as well as a soundscape inspired by the group.

Supported by artist Tess Denman-Cleaver and Tate’s Early Years and Families’ team.

The Waves Were Too Too Too Too Big

Our Sonic Trails are pieces of sound art, they let you listen to recordings and compositions created by artists. Some allow you to experience somewhere entirely different to your surroundings, like the clicks and songs of whales and other under water animals while you’re walking through the Turbine Hall at Tate Modern or a choir singing in the Duveen galleries at Tate Britain. Some allow you to imagine the process that went into making a sculpture and some uncover hidden sounds which can normally only be heard at night.
