Design your own heritage walk, bringing together the stories and histories of the East End.
Dive into the wealth of archival and source materials housed at Tower Hamlets Local History Library & Archives to design your own heritage walk, bringing together the stories and histories of the East End immortalised in the works of the East London Group.
Expanding on themes from the In the footsteps of the East London Group exhibition, Tower Hamlets Local History Library & Archives invite you to delve into their archives to gain a deeper understanding of the historical, social, and political context surrounding the sites and buildings featured in some of the East London Group’s most iconic paintings.
Using a range of creative mediums, you will work closely with selected archival materials to dream up and map out your own mixed-media heritage walks through collaging, drawing, sketching, mark making, and photocopying source materials of interest.
By re-interpreting the archives through creative responses, we will connect the dots between sites of interest in the paintings of the East London Group and the streets and scenes of east London we know today.
All art-making materials will be provided – no experience with archives is necessary!
This workshop will take place in the Education Room at Tower Hamlets Local History Library & Archives, 277 Bancroft Road, Bethnal Green, London, E1 4DQ.
