Editing Tate Modern (section)

== Protests ==
Since 2010 there have been a series of protest [[Performance art|art performances]] by the art collective ''[[Liberate Tate]]'' demanding the Tate to "disengage from [[BP]] as a sponsor, and stop allowing Tate to be used to deflect attention away from the devastating impacts that BP has around the world." BP is criticised for operations in relation with [[petroleum exploration in the Arctic]], the [[Deepwater Horizon oil spill]], [[oil sands]] and [[climate change]]. In June 2015 a group of artists occupied Tate Modern for 25 hours.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/jun/14/tate-modern-climate-activists-bp-protest|title=Climate activists leave Tate Modern after all-night protest against BP|first=Karl|last=Mathiesen|date=14 June 2015|work=The Guardian}}</ref>
