In Living Memory: A People’s History of Post-war Lewisham
In Living Memory celebrates Lewisham’s diversity and heritage for London Borough of Culture 2022. It empowers Lewisham’s communities to tell their own stories, presenting them through traditional means as well as artistic and cultural activities and events.
A series of community-led projects selected from around 70 expressions of interest are being supported by Goldsmiths to do research into their chosen topic, gathering the memories of local people and share them through striking cultural activities that unfold across 2022.
We Are Lewisham - London Borough of Culture is a Mayor of London initiative.
Supported by Lewisham Council and The Albany.
Made possible with The National Lottery Heritage Fund.
