Public workshops and live experiences rooted in creativity, culture, humour and collective participation.

Through illustration, satire and play, The Lab creates spaces for people to make, question, decorate, colour, discuss and connect. Working across galleries, retail spaces and public institutions, the workshops and live events use humour and visual storytelling to explore culture, identity and everyday life through collective participation.

Previous collaborators include Tate Modern, adidas, Meta, UNIQLO and London Transport Museum.

 

FEATURED PROJECTS

UNIQLO Tate Lates: Women Artists

Tate Modern, 2022

Created as part of Tate Lates celebrating women artists, this interactive takeover transformed an entire floor into a playful making space exploring the realities of being a woman artist. Through colouring activities, chatterboxes, bunting and collaborative decoration, the event invited visitors to reflect on the challenges women artists face while also celebrating creativity, visibility and collective joy.

Somewhere between a colouring party and a cultural critique, the evening used play as a way into larger conversations around gender, creativity and representation.

 

adidas x KMI: Wrap Fest

2018 - 2021

Wrap Fest was a concept developed by Kazvare Made It for adidas, transforming retail spaces into playful, participatory environments through live illustration, colouring activities and limited-edition wrapping paper designed exclusively for the project.

Hosted across multiple London stores, the experience invited visitors to engage creatively through drawing, decoration and collective making, exploring how humour, design and visual storytelling can foster connection and community within public space.

 

SELECTED TATE MODERN PUBLIC PROGRAMMES

Tate Modern, 2019–2025

Across a series of workshops, installations and participatory events created for Tate Modern and Tate Lates, Kazvare Made It has developed playful public programmes exploring satire, pop culture, identity and collective creativity through illustration and making.

 

Morley’s Chicken Box Workshop

Tate Lates, 2019

A workshop and pop-up installation celebrating the South London institution that is Morley’s through illustrated chicken boxes inspired by pop culture, local identity and everyday nostalgia.

(Later inducted into Morley’s historical highlights, which honestly felt like an honour.)

 

Ade Warhol

Tate Lates Online, 2020

Created during Tate Lates online, Ade Warhol reimagined a fictional British-Nigerian pop artist inspired by Andy Warhol’s Campbell’s Soup series. Participants were invited to colour in a Carnation milk tin illustration at home, blending pop art, diaspora reference and humour through participatory making.

 

Philip Guston-Inspired Satirical Comics Workshop

Tate Modern, 2023

Inspired by the work of Philip Guston, this workshop invited participants to create and colour their own satirical comics using Kazvare’s illustrations as a starting point. Blending humour, drawing and social commentary, the session explored satire as a tool for observation, critique and playful storytelling.

 

Tate x UNIQLO Artist Residency

Tate Modern 25th Birthday Weekender, 2025

Created as part of Tate Modern’s 25th Birthday Weekender, this three-day mini residency transformed the Tate x UNIQLO retail space into a playful postcard-making studio inspired by works from the Tate collection.

Across three sold-out days, visitors of all ages were invited to decorate, collage and create using colourful paper, stickers and illustrated materials, leaving with personalised postcards inspired by the collection and the atmosphere of the weekend itself.
