Taking as a rudiment the cultural history of Deptford and the issues around the preservation of it due to the redevelopment in the area, the panel discussion will focus in the relations between local community and heritage, their importance and the role of the art in these relations. 

Furthermore, the discussion will expand to how art, artists and art institutions shape the area’s regeneration and will look at current debates that connect the arts to gentrification, such as the resent Boyle Heights protests in Los Angeles, Sharon Zukin’s and Neil Smith’s position in their writings amongst others.

Liz May - APT Gallery manager

Sue Lawes - Local artist and activist

James Price - Filmmaker - 'Reading Pepys' documentary
