The stories plants tell

Three Rivers is a free-floating social arts agency. We work with local partners to support creative practices, which recognise, resource and respond to people, place, land and community, in the London Borough of Bexley.Three Rivers is funded by Arts Council England, through a programme called Creative Places and People, which focuses on parts of the country where involvement in arts and culture is significantly below the national average.

Crossness Nature Reserve

Beneath the pavement, the marshes

Beneath the pavement, the marshes is a two-year action-research programme delving into the cultural, ecological and political dynamics of Crossness and Erith Marshes.

<h3>We will wander through the Reserve, collectively learning from and with each other about the plants we meet along the way.</h3><p><br></p><p>Moving with a gentle pace, we will focus on slowing down, tuning into our senses, observing and noticing.</p><p><br></p><h4><strong><strong>About </strong></strong><strong><strong>Maymana Arefin</strong></strong></h4><p><a href="https://maymanaarefin.com/" title="https://maymanaarefin.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Maymana Arefin</a> (she/they) is a community organiser, artist, writer and facilitator based in London.
