Following the launch take part in ‘Coming Together’ (2–4pm), a hands-on collage workshop with artist Marilyn Fontaine. Using archival images, photographs, fabric and newsprint, you’ll create a personal collage that weaves your family history into the legacy of Tate & Lyle workers and South Newham. Working from a large-scale portrait of workers, you’ll place your story alongside others and together the collages will form a shared community timeline of Silvertown and Canning Town.
