This activity forms part of Laura’s commission at Coalhouse Fort

 

“Fortified in times of threat, neglected in times of safety, surprisingly responsive to change and opportunity, the history of Coalhouse Fort speaks strongly to challenges facing us all right now. There’s a tenacity, a stubborn-ness to the place, combined with broad and expansive strategic views. A much-needed hope, even in the cracked and dampening stone.”

 

This work is made possible through a co-commission from Start Thurrock and Essex Cultural Diversity Project supported by Arts Council England
