‘Requiem’ is a new site-specific mural by Chris Ofili at Tate Britain. Spanning three walls, ‘Requiem’ pays tribute to fellow artist Khadija Saye and remembers the tragedy of the Grenfell Tower fire. It offers a poetic reflection on loss, spirituality and transformation.

Chris Ofili met Khadija Saye in May 2017 when they were both exhibiting work in Venice. One month later, Saye died in the Grenfell Tower fire. Memories of their meeting had a profound impact on Ofili.

When making this artwork, the artist recalled the feelings he had when he made ‘No Woman, No Cry’ in 1998 as a tribute to Stephen Lawrence and his mother Doreen. For Ofili, ‘a statement of sadness was manifested in No Woman, No Cry. That feeling of injustice has returned. I wanted to make a work in tribute to Khadija Saye. Remembering the Grenfell Tower fire, I hope that the mural will continue to speak across time to our collective sadness.’
