‘I’m Interested in Poetry’ -- TateShots Conversation with Visual Artist Isaac Julien

'Isaac Julien, CBE, is an award winning filmmaker and installation artist. He rose to prominence with the 1989 film Looking for Langston, a poetic documentary and homage to Harlem Renaissance poet Langston Hughes. His work has since explored a variety of issues including black identity, diaspora, migration and capital. Julien was born in 1960 in London, where he currently lives and works. In this film we visit the artist in his studio to explore three key works across his career.' -- Tate
