Boat Poets: I Remember Your Face by Tatenda Naomi Matsvai

Boat Poet Tatenda Naomi Matsvai created I Remember Your Face in response to conversations with passengers of the Woolwich Ferry.

“I found in each conversation The woolwich ferry was a conduit for lost memory” Tatenda says. “a holder of history even in it’s change the ability to look out of the ship and experience the memories of the area are the magic of the ferry.”
