Plastics Roadshow
This special event introduces Bow Arts’ upcoming Raw Materials: Plastics programme, the third in a series of heritage projects exploring the industrial history of the lower Lea Valley one material at a time. In 2019 the focus is on the material plastic, following the little-known history of the development of the world’s first ever plastic in Hackney Wick, east London in 1866; while working with UCL’s Institute of Sustainable Heritage and environmental charity Thames21 to reflect on current questions of value and waste.
