The Deptford Community Monument Project

The Deptford Community Monument Project is a collaboration with local schools and community groups to trace the past and present stories and struggles of minoritised people. It is developed by Deptford People’s Heritage Museum with Goldsmiths’ Visual Cultures Department and Pepys Resource Centre.

Which buildings in Deptford are monuments to the community? Share your stories about these buildings as we highlight both the difficult local histories of colonialism and the Transatlantic Slave Trade, and the resilient presence of African diasporic communities and other groups living in this legacy.

Monument Conference with Lisa Robinson: January 13, 2023: Join us for presentations and discussion with Deptford People's Heritage Museum founders and Lisa Robinson. Food will be provided.

Community Forums, January 13, 20 & 27 and February 3 & 10, 2023: Time to write and share your stories, and participate in collaborative blanket making. Food will be provided.

This project is funded by Untold Stories, part of the Mayor of London’s Commission for Diversity in the Public Realm.
