The Deptford People’s Heritage Museum is a Black-led, volunteer-run ‘museum without walls’ that is dedicated to exploring the Deptford Dockyard’s legacies of colonialism and enslavement, and the struggles for freedom in relation to the experience of our community today. The Museum is governed by a ‘village ethos’, involving current and ancestral voices in its ongoing process of museum making, and building relationships between the past, present and future.In this talk, directors Joyce Jacca, Tracey Jarrett and Janna Graham will share the museum's history and work, and introduce its current project, The Monument is the Struggle, which investigates how histories of colonial dispossession and resistance in Deptford register in the struggles of the present.
