We’re thrilled to be part of Totally Thames 2026 Festival with Turning the Tide. A free public installation by Turner Prize-nominated artist Catherine Yass, created with Graeae's Young Company.
The Totally Thames festival draws on the River Thames as a vital source of creativity and community connection across London.

For four nights only from 17–20 September. Through a captivating visual narrative, this projected installation will engage thousands of visitors, encouraging conversations around inclusion and urban resilience. Turning the Tide has recently been awarded the prestigious Art Explora – Académie des beaux-arts European Award, the leading European Award championing new dialogues between the arts and audiences.

Catherine says ‘Working with young disabled people gave me the idea to project videos of them onto the bridge columns as a way of increasing their visibility in public life.’
