Our Journeys was an eight-week local history and creative textiles project exploring local history and migration stories to Tower Hamlets. Leading to the creation of a StoryTent showcased in a public exhibition at Rich Mix, the tent is currently travelling to schools and community fairs around the borough. You can follow the journey here.
Rich Mix and Tower Hamlets Local History Library & Archives supported the project alongside training in practical textiles skills and knowledge with artists Teresa Hare Duke, Jakia Khanom and Tracy Barbe.
If you are interested in having the Our Journeys StoryTent at your school, library or venue, please let us know by emailing helen.baldwin@richmix.org.uk.
In partnership with Tower Hamlets Local History Library & Archives. This project is free of charge, thanks to support from Heritage Lottery Fund.
