T100 Young Ambassadors: Graffiti Silks Walk & Performance
Thursday 22 May 2025
3:30pm – 6pm
Is the river alive?
Join us for the unveiling of striking graffiti silks, created in collaboration with Kinetika Founder and Artistic Director Ali Pretty, artist Sarah Doyle, mural artist Scotty Brave, and Young Ambassadors from William Edwards Secondary. This artistic response explores the ever-changing spirit of the river.
Watch as the silks come to life in a powerful performance by school pupils, inspired by the river’s movement. Discover the connection between Europe’s longest graffiti wall and our stretch of the Thames – how does graffiti capture the river’s energy and memories?
Through poetry, music, and dance, reflect on the ways the river shapes us, leaving its mark just as we leave ours.

Everyone needs to choose walks within their capabilities. The walk leaders are experienced but must take people’s word that they will be ok undertaking the walk they have chosen to join.
Due care has been exercised in organising the walks, however Kinetika, the funders and associated partners of the project cannot accept liability for loss, accident or injury caused to any person following the routes, especially unsupervised. Participants under the age of 16 are welcome but must be accompanied by an adult.
Please ensure that you are properly equipped for all walks. The weather can be unpredictable so bring waterproof clothing and/or sun hats and sun cream – it’s best to be prepared for all weather.
Walking boots/shoes are recommended, but if you don’t have these please wear suitable and comfortable footwear – best to leave open-toe sandals or high heels at home. Make sure you bring snacks and a packed lunch with you, if necessary, and plenty to drink.
Toilet facilities can be accessed at Coalhouse before the walk or at Tilbury Fort at the end of the walk.
We will be taking photographs and video of this event to promote and celebrate the project in print and online. If you do not give consent to be photographed or filmed, that’s absolutely fine. Please let a member of the T100 team know on the day.
