The River in Verse By Marwan Kaabour
Gentle installation on The Tide at the O2 by Marwan Kaabour. A series of poems and quotes about rivers, in all the languages spoken in the Royal Borough of Greenwich, are printed in bright colours on the glass facades of the raised levels of The Tide. They are printed against graphic fragments from nautical charts. The whole thing reflects the proximity of the River Thames which you can see through it from various angels. Kaabour sees water as “a space of promise, inspiration, and possibility” as well as a way of addressing global issues such as climate change and migration. The whole thing is an interesting way of reinterpreting this space. No end date given.
