McQueen invited every Year Three pupil in London to have their photograph taken by a team of Tate photographers for an exhibition that explores the varied face of the capital. These class portraits, with their teachers placed at the centre, form a document, a snapshot in time, but they also give us a glimpse of the future. Smiling back at us are future executives, musicians, scientists and writers. Here are politicians, teachers, nurses and parents in the making. This project is full of hope, a celebration of London's diversity, and the exhibition promises to provide a perfect antidote to these pessimistic times and to make sure that message reaches every corner of London Artangel is displaying these images publicly across London’s 33 boroughs from 4-18 November.
