As a group, you will follow the riverside path around Greenwich Peninsula, discovering the sculptures installed on The Line and their relationship to maritime and colonial histories, continuing on to the foreshore to learn about responsible and critical mudlarking. Handling of objects from Royal Museums Greenwich will then be facilitated on the foreshore by Cutty Sark, to end the afternoon.
We are actively seeking to engage Black and Brown participants in this event to address the lack of diversity represented within the fields of archaeology and the art, heritage and cultural sectors more widely. This is a public event, and everyone is welcome.
The recommended age is 16-25, but if you are outside this age bracket and interested, please feel welcome.
Black Archaeo is an initiative by Mercedes Bapiste Halliday, aiming to increase the engagement of urban Black and Brown people in archaeology, heritage, creative industries, ecology and natural spaces.
The Line is East London's public art trail. Its outdoor exhibition programme offers a journey through a dynamic urban landscape where everyone can explore art, nature and heritage for free. The route runs between Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park and The O2, following the waterways and the line of the Greenwich Meridian.
Royal Museums Greenwich comprises the Royal Observatory, Cutty Sark, National Maritime Museum and Queen’s House. It is also home to The Prince Philip Maritime Collections Centre and the Caird Library and Archive. RMG is dedicated to enriching people’s understanding of the sea, the exploration of space, and Britain's role in world history.
