Infinities Commission nora chipaumire: Gadzi

Tate Modern has announced the second artist to undertake the Infinities Commission, the new annual commission to showcase the limitless experimentation of contemporary art. Each year, an expert panel is asked to select an innovative and boundary-breaking international artist to create a visionary new work for the Tanks, Tate Modern’s unique spaces dedicated to performance, installation and time-based art. This year’s jury has selected Zimbabwean artist, dancer and choreographer nora chipaumire, whose commission will be unveiled in June 2026. Tate also announced that funding for the Commission has been secured for the next decade, enabling it to happen each year until at least 2035.

Internationally acclaimed choreographer and performer nora chipaumire is known for her powerful and thought-provoking work that explores identity and personal storytelling. These performances fuse practices of dance, theatre, music, and visual art together to create immersive experiences that invite participation from the audience. Her dynamic style combines movement, sound and video to challenge perceptions and spark dialogue. The artist works with her own body as a core tool for expression in order to address expansive themes such as migration and resilience. Through rigorous attention to movement and space, chipaumire’s practice asks: What is the meaning of balance? How do we find equilibrium? Are these even the right questions for our time? The artist continues to push artistic boundaries, harnessing the live dynamics of performance as a space for education, empowerment and cultural dialogue.

This year’s selection panel included artist and academic Tony Cokes, curator Elvira Dyangani Ose, critic and writer Nora Khan and researcher and curator Daniel Blanga Gubbay.

Intriguing, truly different art in the perfect setting at Tate Modern. The use of music in varied forms alongside the powerful sculptures is completely captivating. The more time you spend there and the longer you listen and explore, the more elements and feelings you discover and the more you appreciate it.
