Becontree Forever – Guided Walk: The Becontree Collection Billboards

A programme of art, culture and new infrastructure to reimagine the future of the UK’s biggest council housing estate

Join Verity-Jane Keefe for a guided walk across Becontree to view a new series of artworks installed on billboards & roadside locations, sharing some of the objects collected as part of Keefe’s long term project, Living Together, across the estate in its centenary year.

Installed in nine locations across the estate, this public realm exhibition makes visible some of the objects collected as part of Keefe’s long term project in Becontree, Living Together. The work intends to reflect the material of this place including building matter and archival political material.

The walk will begin at 10.30am on Saturday 4 September from Becontree Station and will end around 12.30pm.
