About: This project takes its impetus from the history of the Pepys Resource Centre and the Deptford People’s Heritage Museum, which was initiated by women - the majority of whom from African, Caribbean and South American backgrounds- to support the local community. During International Women’s Week 2021, the Museum held a series of events bringing women together to discuss their experiences, responses and largely unrecognised labour in supporting their families and communities during Covid19. The events invited women to bring objects and interpret them through a radical ‘list-making’ methodology developed in collaboration with Dr Jorella Andrews, the results of which will be shared in an online exhibition following the project.︎Click to see a PDF of events which where held during the week. <img width="564" height="521" width_o="564" height_o="521" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b0562a229e86dcfefac2a62d12da415ed3d0bff5c70ffaf52dbc39ffc68b7c00/list-2.jpg" data-mid="123618125" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/564/i/b0562a229e86dcfefac2a62d12da415ed3d0bff5c70ffaf52dbc39ffc68b7c00/list-2.jpg" /> <img width="563" height="376" width_o="563" height_o="376" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ab2339b168fc2a1cfa8e26753a4de6e6bbfd83da57d43d596971946eb5609c20/list-1.jpg" data-mid="123618123" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/563/i/ab2339b168fc2a1cfa8e26753a4de6e6bbfd83da57d43d596971946eb5609c20/list-1.jpg" /> <img width="564" height="540" width_o="564" height_o="540" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7c69752ff01e2c72b8f9f0a5da531fdd243344a143750d49611d69233bc75a4c/926de8cea87aeeba2c67d98cd0042027.jpg" data-mid="123618122" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/564/i/7c69752ff01e2c72b8f9f0a5da531fdd243344a143750d49611d69233bc75a4c/926de8cea87aeeba2c67d98cd0042027.jpg" /> One of the events held was ‘Women and their Experience of the Pandemic’.&nbsp; Hosted by Shiori Adachi, 8th March 2021.

Bring along an object or image that relates to Deptford and help to shape the future of the Museum. Some of you may have seen objects related to African histories and traditions at the Pepys Resource Centre, others may have seen Chip on Your Shoulder, an exhibition we held in the autumn with the Lenox Project and Naval Dockyard Society about how many of our personal histories in the local area, cross over with the history of the Docks. We really want this to be a museum for and by local people, to take on ‘the village ethos’, to honour our ancestors by keeping their and our struggles alive. <img width="1214" height="758" width_o="1214" height_o="758" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/1a1361e300c65b1dd88b4de6eaf06357d83946b40c2e467581fabe579639c50d/drums.jpg" data-mid="123609870" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/1a1361e300c65b1dd88b4de6eaf06357d83946b40c2e467581fabe579639c50d/drums.jpg" />Two hand drums,&nbsp; Peoples Museum of Deptford, 2020 ︎ (Click here for more information) https://deptfordpeoplesheritagemuseum.cargo.site/New-Cross-Fire Thu, 04 Nov 2021 17:42:32 +0000 DEPTFORD PEOPLE'S HERITAGE MUSEUM https://deptfordpeoplesheritagemuseum.cargo.site/New-Cross-Fire New Cross Fire Started February 2021 About: In February 2021, the Deptford People’s Heritage Museum launched the New Cross Fire area of the collection. Through oral histories and group sessions with those who were involved or live in the legacy of the tragic fire that took the lives of 13 young Black people in what was suspected to be a racially motivated arson attack, this area of the collection seeks to support the families of lost loves ones in their struggle to hold those responsible to account, which has not, to this day, taken place. Documenting aspects of the fire, the moment and the subsequent protests including the Black People’s Day of Action, we are hosting regular sessions.&nbsp; The project received seed funding from the Goldsmiths Public Engagement fund and support from the Department of Visual Cultures. <img width="1599" height="899" width_o="1599" height_o="899" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/8ab9a17376f8027701b0736a3677fd91360d0de4a436ebe7851fdc61dd50723d/MuseumLewisham-1.jpeg" data-mid="123616784" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/8ab9a17376f8027701b0736a3677fd91360d0de4a436ebe7851fdc61dd50723d/MuseumLewisham-1.jpeg" /> Mural Commemorating the Battle of Lewisham developed by local community groups and graphic designer Ted Low and Goldsmiths, University of London︎(Click here for our research PDF) https://deptfordpeoplesheritagemuseum.cargo.site/Chip-on-Your-Shoulder Thu, 04 Nov 2021 17:42:32 +0000 DEPTFORD PEOPLE'S HERITAGE MUSEUM https://deptfordpeoplesheritagemuseum.cargo.site/Chip-on-Your-Shoulder ‘Chip on Your Shoulder’October 2020- November 2020 About: Our first exhibition, Chip on Your Shoulder, took place in October-November 2020 and looked at the poor conditions of naval ship-builders alongside the extractive and violent histories of enslavement as a trajectory of exploitation and violence that links communities often seen as separate and has important consequences for the area today.

The term ‘A Chip on Your Shoulder’ comes from the Deptford Dockyards. Many people came here looking for work, often there was no paid work available or the payment would be very late to arrive. So as a form of payment it was agreed that workers could take large heavy planks of wood or ‘chips’ as payment. They took as many planks as they could carry. So, the term comes from having to carry a heavy load on your shoulders to survive in the world. ` Did You Know? That Deptford was once home to the first Royal Dockyard. The Main Gates of the dockyard is on plough way opposite the Evelyn Children’s Centre. During the reign of Henry VIII the Dockyard was a site for building, repairing and supplying both commercial ships and the royal navy. Sir Frances Drake operated on these dockyards and Queen Elizabeth knighted him here. James Cook’s expeditions to Australia came from the docks. Important port for trade with the East India Company. Connected to the slave trade with John Hawkins using it as a base for his operations. Samuel Pepys made a living insuring slave ships and other vessels that operated here. John Evelyn became known for his restoration work here. ︎(Click here for more information) https://deptfordpeoplesheritagemuseum.cargo.site/Remembering-the-Forgotten Thu, 04 Nov 2021 17:42:32 +0000 DEPTFORD PEOPLE'S HERITAGE MUSEUM https://deptfordpeoplesheritagemuseum.cargo.site/Remembering-the-Forgotten Remembering the Forgotten: Conversations with Senegal 17th November 2020, 13:30 GMT, online About: With professor Yankhoba Seydi, Cheikh Anta Diop University, Dakar, with Kenneth Thomas, People’s Heritage Museum.This event looks at diasporic histories of the transatlantic Slave Trade and how the lives and passages of those enslaved are represented and remembered in Senegal and the UK.
