start: The Hub, 42 Bonar Road; finish: Jumbi, Unit 4.1, Copeland Park, 133 Copeland Rd

Monday 9 March

5.30pm - 8pm (including exhibition tour)

The conversation offers insight into Jeffers’ practice alongside Otchere’s contribution to Black British photography, considering photography as both archive and witness while exploring how images hold history and shape identity.

We’ll begin with an exhibition tour at 5:30pm at The Hub, Camberwell College of Arts (UAL), 42 Bonar Road, SE15 5FB, before taking a 15-minute walk through the heart of Peckham to Jumbi — a natural shift from exhibition into conversation. The panel will start at 6:30pm in the main space.

Free to attend. Plenty of seating (limited standing capacity). We recommend arriving early.

In Living Memory and its accompanying programme are part of our Memories for the Future project, made possible with funding from the National Lottery Heritage FundUnited St Saviours and the London Borough of Southwark’s Culture TogetherNeighbourhoods and Cultural Celebrations funds and generous support from Arts Council England. Memories for the Future runs from June 2024 through to March 2026.
