Black History 365 -Spiral Sanctuary Explorations

Songlines for Greenwich – Lantern Migration Celebration – BH365 event. Songs of migration workshop.

Join Inspiral artists and musicians for an evening of song writing, musical improvisation and conversation. Delving deep into the archive, we offer an imaginal exploration among the surroundings of Woolwich Old Dockyards, meeting unusual and unexpected figures and images appearing from the walls and facades.

Part of Songlines for Greenwich Festival Workshops and Events (March to July 2025)

This spring join us for gentle walks and contribute to our local Black History walking project Songlines of Greenwich. Together we create, interpret and celebrate Black cultural heritage and experiences reclaiming the histories of places and forgotten or underrepresented people.

Leading to a festival of free Public Performative Walk Events – From mid May to mid July 2025 Inspiral London joins Songlines for a series of interlinked walks, co-curated as part of Greenwich’s Black History 365 celebrations.

Together we explore the hidden histories of Greenwich, extraordinary stories buried in the archive – individuals and communities seeking refuge and sanctuary. As we look across at the Tate and Lyle factory we hear the strange convoluted histories of sugar/cane and spice. This workshop is free but booking recommended.

Booking for walks/workshops opens on 1 April 2025 at https://www.inspirallondon.com/event/
