About the Video
El Anatsui draws a parallel between his creative process and the West African proverb, "It takes a village to raise a child." This year's Hyundai Commission highlights the intricate and large-scale nature of Anatsui's hangings, emphasizing the collaborative effort involved in bringing his vision to life. Edward Oliver, Senior Designer at The White Wall Company, who was a part of production and installation, provides glimpses into how Anatsui's works were woven into existence with delicate threads of creativity and care, guided by many hands.

About the Program
The annual Hyundai Commission is a series of new, site-specific installations by international artists in Tate Modern’s iconic Turbine Hall. It is made possible by the long-term partnership between Tate and Hyundai Motor, now confirmed until 2036. The partnership, recently extended for another decade, was founded in 2014 with the longest initial commitment from a corporate partner in Tate’s history and encompasses support of both the Hyundai Commission and the Hyundai Tate Research Centre: Transnational. Attracting over 19 million visitors since it began, the Hyundai Commission gives artists the chance to interpret the vast industrial space of Tate Modern’s Turbine Hall, producing some of the most bold and memorable artworks of the past decade.
