Revealing Culture: HeadOn
is an artwork and research by Visual Artist Tanya Raabe exploring identity, and disability culture, in contemporary portraiture and the nude: She will be delving into public art collections on display in Tate Liverpool and Tate Modern to devise a visionary portrait of disability culture, while creating ten new portraits of disabled cultural figures, past present and future. The sittings for these portraits will take place in Tate Liverpool and
Tate Modern over the next 12 months and will be open to the public to watch and question both the artist and
the sitter about who and why they are doing this exciting project.

Supported by the National Lottery through Arts Council England. Supported by Tate.
