Essex Cultural Diversity Project invites proposals for a new project to creatively respond to the history of Shoeburyness near Southend.
For over a century the ‘Proof and Experimental Establishment’ was a military site for testing ordnance, artillery and ammunition. We have teamed up with the Cart & Wagon Shed, the community and heritage space managed by Shoebury Coastal CIC, to host a commission that aims to engage local communities and underrepresented voices.
We are looking for a project that will creatively collect and bring to life historical and contemporary stories of the people and places across Shoeburyness, which can illustrate the unique heritage of the area and reflect on its history of military, war and defence, as a way to bring into focus themes of community, heritage and care. We want to celebrate the area, enable local people to tell their own stories in their own words, and help shape a strong and collaborative future for Shoeburyness.
