This workshop follows the theme for Deptford X which reflects on the past. Sarah made a huge Plague Doctor for Deptford X 2021 that drew a lot of local conversations and ended in a Zoom drama “happening” with a costumed actor.
The Plague Doctor is returning this year, in a new guise, abreast a collage of Sarah’s photos of Deptford over the decades. Why? Because the dangers we face as a society are by no means over. Look out for him popping out at weekends From midday at Overdrive, Unit 6 ResolutionWay, opposite the train station.
This workshop is brought to you by Sarah Garrod and Green Space Art, With thanks to Deptford X and Pepys Community Forum.
