It’s been two and a half years since Daedalus first announced our partnership with Havering Changing and we feel really grateful to continue this collaboration with two new workshops this Summer.
Collaging Havering: Past, Present and Future
First up, we’re heading to Rainham on Saturday for the Annual Mardyke Community Centre Summer Festival. The event is free to enter with live entertainment, family activities and a wide range of refreshments on offer. Daedalus Assistant Producer Tasnim Siddiqa Amin and local artist Vicki Griffith will be facilitating a creative collage workshop exploring Havering’s past, present and future.
From the migration of East End communities after the Second World War to changing demographics, industries and high streets, we’ll share stories from local history, reflect on what community means in Havering today, and imagine what the borough could look like in years to come.
Date: Saturday 13 June 2026
Time: 12PM – 4PM
Location: Mardyke Community Centre, 52 South St, Rainham RM13 8PJ
No booking required, just turn up.
The creative nature workshops Daedalus delivered in Rainham in 2024 gave Vicki “the confidence to explore this side of my creativity more fully. Since then, I have continued learning through local craft workshops and more recently, simply to share with community partners and local groups. In 2025, three of my own denim artworks were selected for display as part of the ‘Secret Artist’s Project’ in Rainham, Essex.”
