With Easter weekend behind us, many will be eager to find out what else is going on during the month of April. There are plenty of events taking place in London, just in time for the spring sun.
Steve McQueen: ‘Grenfell’
Steve McQueen is an Oscar-winning director and artist who captured drone footage of Grenfell Tower six months after it was set ablaze. This film, which has been described as ‘heart sinking and dizzying’, shows contrasts between the untouched English countryside, the busyness of London, and finally, what’s left of Grenfell Tower. This film is meant to capture the brutality of this tragedy, highlighting just how life altering it was for so many. If you’re interested in watching this film, tickets are free and it is being shown in the Serpentine South Gallery in Hyde Park from the 7th of April to the 10th of May.

Forms of Life, Tate Modern
The Tate Modern welcomed a brand new exhibition on the 20th April, which features works by Hilma af Klint and Piet Mondrian.
