Deptford|Tributes (2009)
A new moving image work by Amanda Egbe & Rastko Novaković
Navigating the rivers Ravensbourne, Quaggy and Pool, from Deptford Creek to Caesar's Well, the artists pay tribute to the industries, peoples and ways of life on the river. The audience is immersed in traces of the artists' navigation, the moving image work and the surrounding landscape.

About the Project
The year played host to economic crises, explosions of the nation state, and the continued process of the remapping of political representation, with seemingly discreet and local disturbances rising to the surface. <1992> is conceived as an investigation of grassroots political and social organisations during a period of crisis, collisions and eruptions across the globe. Concerned with the personal collective experience and taking 1992 as a locus, the project will elicit an understanding of the how the moments came to pass.
* Older People, memory and the Moving Image
The aim of the project is to collaborate with older people in producing a dynamic interactive exhibition of their memories and personal histories. The project will allow participants to share their experience with the wider community.
The project also aims to introduce older people to new technologies in an easy, accessible and useable way.
