Delivered by Future Hackney
In 2024, the Foundation for Future London awarded a grant to Future Hackney for its project “Dalston’s Radical History” through our Small Grant Scheme and also with a Capacity Building grant.
The evolving project ‘Dalston’s Radical History’ is a photographic story set in East London co-authored with the locals.
The Small Grant Scheme and Capacity Building Grant Scheme are both part of our Westfield East Bank Creative Futures Fund, funded by Westfield Stratford City.
The evolving project ‘Dalston’s Radical History’ is a photographic story set in East London co-authored with the locals.
Through professional images, oral histories and reminisces we learn about the history of Dalston, the rich histories and struggles faced by the Caribbean and African communities in the past.
This oral and visual journey leads us into the present where the legacy of that struggle has allowed other marginalised groups to feel welcome.
Through street engagement, youth and community workshops, digital and print platforms, large format street galleries and press they are creating a living archive of the rich narratives of East London’s communities.
