A restaurant inside the Tate Britain Museum with an enormous racist mural dating back to 1926 has permanently closed
calling the restaurant the “most amusing room in Europe, owing to its specially commissioned mural.” White Pube asked: “i’m sorry what. How does this restaurant still exist?” The gallery removed this reference soon after.
It also then published its “interpretation text” which it said had featured on the restaurant’s wall: “[...]Whistler depicts the enslavement of a Black child and the distress of his mother using highly stereotyped figures that were common at the time. In later scenes the boy runs behind a cart, attached to it by a chain around his neck. In the Great Wall of China scene, the Chinese figures are presented in costume that now suggests caricature. Whistler’s treatment of non-white figures reduces them to stereotypes.
Eater has contacted representatives both of the Tate gallery numerous times over the course of the last 18 months, each time being told that no final decision had been made on the future of the restaurant nor the space. In May 2021,to determine the space’s future was underway.
Still, a decision has been reached — one which, for the time being, will see no further association between a mural replete with racist imagery and restaurant dining.Check your inbox for a welcome email.
