Material Histories – Procession
5 September 2026
Free
A procession from Oxford House through Bethnal Green to Whitechapel, carrying banners made with local community groups that trace the area's rag trade history, its Jewish, Bengali and Huguenot garment workers included. Homemade percussion instruments built from recycled scrap set the pace, following a route that works like a living map of the neighbourhood's past.
