Aesthetic preferences, for Zakia Sewell, have always been woven into her identity, informing the ways she鈥檚 engaged with the world, through like-minded music lovers and fashion tribes. But 'taste' is also enshrined in the institutions that dominate our cultural life.

Zakia considers the recent rehang at Tate Britain with author and cultural critic Nathalie Olah and she discusses with Gabrielle de la Puente and Zarina Muhammad of The White Pube and Professor Dave O'Brien, one of the authors of Panic! It's An Arts Emergency, how institutional taste reveals what we as a society feel it鈥檚 appropriate to value, protect and promote.
