About the project
Light Vessel 21, together with a crew of creative professionals and volunteers from the surrounding community will examine the theme of SILT: “…soil that is carried along by flowing water and then dropped at a bend in a river or at a river’s opening…”
Working with artists, performers and local people of all ages, LV21 will embark on a journey to discover, capture and bring to life the forgotten stories and histories of Gravesham.
LV21 [https://lv21.co.uk/] is a historic, 40 metre steel-hulled lightship transformed into a floating art space and performance facility.
It’s an arts, culture, education and heritage organisation that specialises in community participatory site-specific work across art-forms, working in close collaboration with creative professionals and a variety of organisations, community groups and individuals of all ages and abilities to encourage active participation and empower participants to get involved with innovative cultural projects that affect positive social change.
SILTINGS will be taking place over the weekend of 3 – 6 June 2021 and is designed for all ages.
Location: St Andrews Quay, Royal Pier Road, Gravesend, Kent DA12 2BD
