Turtles of Newham

Turtles of Newham is a celebration of those who keep going — no matter the odds.

Join us for a vibrant, multi-layered exhibition spotlighting the resilience, creativity, and heritage of Newham through the lens of a turtle: someone who may have had a slow or difficult start in life but continues to move forward with hope.

This immersive event features:

• Zine-making & archiving workshops
• Film screenings
• Live DJ sets
• A community panel discussion
• A powerful multimedia exhibition

Discover stories of strength, creativity, and community spirit rooted in the heart of the borough. Part of Newham Heritage Month, Turtles of Newham invites you to reflect, create, and celebrate, at your own pace.
