2 September 2026

We are very excited to announce that this year’s I Am Festival will be held at the Tate Modern between Wednesday 17 March – Friday 19 March 2027.

Following the success of last year’s festival, we are partnering with Tate to celebrate the creativity of d/Deaf, disabled and neurodivergent young people across London. We invite you and the young people you work with to connect with peers from other settings and explore what can happen in this world-class gallery.

This year our theme will be... Time!

We will be commissioning artists and schools to create exciting new activities that explore ideas around the theme of time. From telling time to Crip Time, we’re keen to hear from SEN specialist teachers to think about what time and creativity means for you and your learners.

Sign up to our I Am Network to keep up to date with our festival and CPD opportunities.

Bookings will be open in early November.

Cultural organisations can find out more about our commissions and other opportunities to engage with the I Am programme by signing up to our Cultural Sector newsletter.
