Three Tenses - The Whitehawk Great Map

Free drop-in art sessions for people aged 7-11 and 11-16

Archive Workshops (10 September to 11 September 2025, 5.30pm - 5.00pm)
Join artist Dan Thompson this September for two free drop-in art sessions at The Crew Club in Whitehawk. Together we'll create a giant Mappa Mundi of Hope, showing Whitehawk as the centre of the world.

Want to become a renegade map-maker and put Whitehawk at the centre of the world?


Making maps has never just been just about representing the real world - what we choose to place at the centre of a map changes the way we understand the world. And now artist Dan Thompson is inviting you to make the choices, creating a giant map that explores hope, optimism, and joy - and the only thing we know is that Whitehawk will be at the centre.


Join in at two after-school sessions taking place at The Crew Club:


Wednesday 10 September, 5.30 - 7pm (for people high school age)


Thursday 11 September, 3pm - 5pm for Crew Kids (7-11 years old)


You are welcome to drop in at any time whilst these sessions are taking place.


This project is aimed at 7-16 year olds but we welcome attendees of all ages. No experience of maps - or art - needed.

3 Tenses Sept

“A map tells you where you’ve been, where you are, and where you’re going — in a sense it’s three tenses in one.”
