25th Anniversary Projects
Deptford X is 25!
2023 is Deptford X’s 25th anniversary and we have produced a book and exhibition for the occasion. In addition, we have partnered with London Community Video Archive, Sophie Chapman and Beth Bramich of Ditto Space, and Caravan Arts and Meet Me at The Albany to broaden the discussion around the histories and futures of creative practice and local communities in Deptford and the wider borough of Lewisham.
The anniversary book and exhibition are funded by Cockayne and London Community Foundation, and National Lottery Heritage Fund
