About this Event

Join us for the third of three informal workshops exploring the history of the D/deaf community in Southend.

The workshops will be led by the Essex Record Office (the county archive) and local artist Damien Robinson.

We want to gather, discuss, and record stories of Southend's D/deaf community. Anyone with lived experience of the community is welcome!

In the third workshop, we will:

Discuss places that have been important to D/deaf people locally
Film reminiscences to share and to archive

The workshops will be held at Southend Library at the Forum (see map above). They will be BSL interpreted. For the third workshop, the interpreters are Andy Appleby and Tina Holmes.

The building has:

Step-free access
An induction loop

Please get in touch if you have any further access requests - email [email protected].
