In this talk titled “Expanding Horizons: rethinking the past through the lens of the present”, Morris shared insights on the Tate Modern’s new building extension and her vision for redefining the museum for the 21st century.
Frances Morris has played a key role in the development of Tate, joining as a curator in 1987, becoming Head of Displays at Tate Modern (2000–2006) and then Director of Collection, International Art until April 2016 when she was appointed to her current role. She has continually worked to re-imagine Tate’s collection and has been instrumental in developing its international reach and its representation of women artists.
