UNDERCURRENT – join Revoluton Arts for a creative exploration of the River Lea

Undercurrent is a new project, supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund, that aims to uncover and share historical narratives of activism and music sub-cultures connected to the River Lea. From neolithic beginnings to Blockers’ Seaside, at the source in Luton; to punk gigs, rave collectives and regeneration, journeying to where it meets the River Thames at the Royal Docks. The significance of the River Lea’s hidden histories cannot be denied.

Join us for our London Creative Assembly as we document and retell the history of the River Lea and its stories of activism and music sub-cultures. In this Creative Assembly, you’ll have the opportunity to share your story, delve deep into the archives, and imagine future creative collaborations.

This event is for anyone with an interest in the River Lea and the history of activism and music-subcultures, whether or not you have a personal connection or story to share.

For further information, and to book your place, please visit: Undercurrent Creative Assembly (London) - Revoluton (revolutonarts.com)

Revoluton Arts are able to offer a limited number of freelance artists/practitioners a small honorarium for their time to attend this event. If you would like to claim this, please email info@revolutonarts.com once you’ve made your booking.
