This LGBTQIA+ History Month, Tate Modern celebrates queer creativity in a unique collaboration with Honey Dijon on February 27th, 2026. The iconic DJ, producer, and fashion icon transforms the museum into a dynamic hub of music, visual art, conversation, and workshops, highlighting the vital role of club culture in contemporary creative life.
Club culture as artistic expression
Emerging from Chicago’s legendary house scene and leaving a lasting imprint on London nightlife, Honey Dijon is more than a DJ. She is a cultural architect whose influence spans dancefloors, fashion runways, and radical creative spaces worldwide. For this special Tate Modern Late, she curates an immersive programme that bridges underground club culture with institutional art, celebrating the dancefloor as both sanctuary and site of resistance.
