As a group, you will follow the riverside path around Greenwich Peninsula, discovering the sculptures installed on The Line and their relationship to maritime and colonial histories, continuing on to the foreshore to learn about responsible and critical mudlarking. Beginning at North Greenwich, the walk will skirt the Thames and descend on the foreshore to indentify the marker's of London's history.
You'll get the opportunity to handle objects from the Royal Museums Greenwich collection at the National Maritime Museum to end the afternoon.
We are actively seeking to engage Black and Brown participants in this event to address the lack of diversity within archaeology and the art, heritage and cultural sectors more widely. This is a public event, and everyone is welcome.
The recommended age is 16-25. RSVP via the eventbrite is necessary, as capacity is limited. The Line will contact participants with meeting points and further information.
The Line
The Line is East London's public art trail. Its outdoor exhibition programme offers a journey through a dynamic urban landscape where everyone can explore art, nature and heritage for free. The route runs between Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park and The O2, following the waterways and the line of the Greenwich Meridian.
