Exploring History through Creativity
About
Free creative sessions exploring East End history through collage, photography, movement, singing, soundscapes and performance.
Poplar Union runs a series of free creative sessions exploring East End history through collage, photography, movement, singing, soundscapes and performance. Topics covered range from industrialisation and the London dock strike to London's first Chinatown in Limehouse, the Poplar rates rebellion, the closure of the Docks and gentrification. Sessions are facilitated by artist and theatremaker Tasnim Siddiqa Amin, with guest contributors including local historian Henna Khanom. Participants are invited to learn, explore and share their own stories; sessions are for ages 18+.
