A self-guided audio walk and zine about the Poplar Rates Rebellion, as part of the Poplarism! Festival, run by Poplar Union and Finborough Theatre.
The map in the zine will lead you around the walk. Clicking on the numbers on the map will give you a precise location. When you are there, click on the relevant stop opposite the map to hear the audio. The rest of the zine provides a visual companion to the walk, immersing you in the history.
You can find the audio walk in its entirety here: https://soundcloud.com/roamingtheatesebellion/sets/roaming-the-rates-rebellion-1. You can of course listen from the comfort of your home and take in the zine if you can't get to Tower Hamlets!
If you would like access to the scripts for the walking tour so you can read the history rather than having to listen, you can find them here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1P9DWyn7n83BuyCBdrdPRofIpI03U06Gv/view?usp=sharing
This project has been conceived and made by artistic partners Emily & Jodie. We hope you enjoy it.
