Changing Tides - Queenborough, Isle of Sheppey
Changing Tides is a public cultural programme aboard Sailing Barge Raybel inspired by the cultural diversity of the heritage and communities of the Thames, and celebrating social movements and expressions of rebellion, freedom and joy.
It nurtures critical discussions about the uneven historical legacies of maritime trade and the manifold consequences of post-industrial decline in contemporary Britain.
The programme has been devised by artist and musician Benjin, in collaboration with Raybel Charters.
The programme includes two 'On the Move’ events, for which guest artists have been invited to create work whilst under sail on a traditional Sailing Barge between Isle of Sheppey and Canvey Island. There is also a series of live music events aboard Thames Sailing Barge Raybel at Queenborough Harbour and Benfleet Yacht Club, please see separate event listings for those.
