Where we have walked / We were here… with artist Remiiya Badru. (Saturday 13 September 10am-12.30pm) - Part of Hydracity 2 for Totally Thames 2025.
Join us on an explorative walking tour that reveals known and hidden histories of black presence with a connection to the Thames at Greenwich, who have left their indelible marks within the canon of our shared histories.
Inspired by Remiiya Badru's research for her Rhumblines project she will be sharing aspects of her unique research journey in the archives of National Maritime Museum. A walk that explore lesser known narratives of black and indigenous voices at sea, through conversations as a shared and mobile community.
Commencing from Maze Hill station, we will be mapping a range of narratives of key black figures who changed the course of history with their contributions, leaving poignant legacies, which continue to reverberate today. Stops at key sites, weaving our way around through Greenwich Park, into Queen’s House and the National Maritime Museum to look at specific works and rounding off by the river.
