Serving the community through food
The Speculative ReMemory project was led by artist and programme facilitator, Sandra Falase, as part of a year-long engagement programme in 2024 at Alice Billing House, supported by the Creative Land Trust and Heritage Lottery Fund.
Sylvie Belbouab is a photographer, social documentary maker and community artist who has lived in Newham for 20 years.
In early December 2024, Sylvie visited the Renewal Programme initiative in Eastham to engage with the volunteers and staff at the Renewal Programme initiative to hear more about their stories and capture their portrait as they worked.
The Renewal Programme supports those in Newham who face a variety of challenges by providing services such as our Food Bank, Warm Meals and a Community Hub. It was great for to hear more from those involved and take the opportunity to capture 10 portraits to honour their fantastic contributions.
About the project, Sylvie Said:
“It’s great to shed light on on all the wonderful work that the people at the Renewal programmes do”.
