MōSaF and Empathy & Risk have collaborated to produce a research-led arts commissioning program, exploring the potential for cultural activity to draw new insights, raise pertinent questions and foster wider discussion regarding the history and legacy of the slave-trade within the Deptford area of South-East London.
To coincide with an exhibition of preliminary artworks and developed architectural design research proposals for public projects by Harun Morrison, Sonia Barrett, David Cotterrell, Tyreis Holder, and the selected work of postgraduate students from the Masters of Architectural Design (MA AD) of WSA-Cardiff University, this panel discussion and collective debate explored the challenges and potential for the arts in engaging with relating Deptford’s complex history.
Panellists Include: Federico Wulff, Helen Paul and Richard Dyer.
The exhibition and symposium were hosted by the Shipwright and included as part of the DeptfordX 2022 programme.
