The 90s at Tate Britain: Step into a decade defined by fearless creativity and a defiant, rule-breaking energy.
The exhibition that proves the 90s weren't just a decade they were a revolution, and Edward Enninful has the archive to prove it.
Guest curated by Edward Enninful OBE, one of today’s most influential voices in fashion and culture, offering his unique perspective on a decade that continues to shape the creative landscape and whose own experiences shape the narrative, The 90s explores a pivotal moment when a surge of creative talent reshaped British culture.
As the country emerged from recession, a renewed sense of optimism and possibility took hold, driven by a diverse new wave of voices unafraid to challenge convention.
Through Enninful’s lens, this period becomes one where art, fashion, design, and photography collided to form a powerful cultural movement.
Traditional boundaries dissolved as high art and popular culture began to influence one another, capturing both the vibrancy and the complexities of the time.
The exhibition reflects on this transformative era and the lasting impact of the figures who defined it.
Bringing together photography, fashion, art, and design, The 90s features striking works by leading image makers of the time, alongside pieces from groundbreaking artists and designers who pushed creative limits.
From iconic fashion to film and music culture, it paints a vivid picture of a decade that redefined style and identity in Britain.
from 8 October 2026 to 14 February 2027.
