Natalie Bell has a building at the Tate Modern named after her.

Natalie Bell has lived in Waterloo for over 25 years and dedicated her life to working for the community in the area. She has two kids, two cats and a very lively grandchild. But why is her name on one of Tate’s buildings?

As part of an art project by artist Tania Bruguera, Natalie was chosen in 2018 by a group of local neighbours to have Tate Modern’s former Boiler House renamed after her in recognition of her volunteer work in the community. Natalie is the Head of Youth and Community programmes at Coin Street Community Builders.

This film was shown at Tate Modern for their February 2020 Uniqlo Tate Late and is part of our ‘Century: 10 Women x 10 Decades’ season

This film is part of 1000 Londoners, a ten-year digital project which aims to create a digital portrait of a city through 1000 of the people who identify themselves with it. The profile contains a 3 minute film that gives an insight into the life of the Londoner, as well as their personal photos of London and some answers to crucial questions about their views on London life. Over the course of the project we aim to reveal as many facets of the capital as possible, seeing city life from 1000 points of view.
