TMC Collective x Peckham Platform Workshops

  • Lara Zade Akinnawo

I was commissioned to produce and facilitate a series three weekly arts workshops on Black History Month at Peckham Platform gallery, along with my art collective The Missing Chapter Collective (October 2016) It was a three part series of drop in workshops exploring the values and importance of Black History Month in Peckham. The Workshops consisted of: Studio Peckham- Allowing the residents of Peckham to explore 1960s portraiture through archive images and recreation. Preserving Stories- Exploring oral history traditions my facilitating young people to interview and record each-other's voice whilst telling stories of their lives. Peckham Futurism- Imagining the distant future of Peckham through an afrofuturist lens


The Missing Chapter Collective are a group of Black British women exploring archives and British history through their creative productions.
This workshop is part of OPEN16, Celebrating Peckham’s Heritage: place, people, culture.
