Documenting a Legacy: Seven Months Behind the Lens with EVEWRIGHT.
Filmmaker George Morgan offers an intimate look into the creative process of acclaimed multidisciplinary artist EVEWRIGHT.
Over seven months across 2025 and 2026, filmmaker George Morgan stepped behind the scenes with artist EVEWRIGHT. The resulting documentary archives EVEWRIGHT’s major exhibitions, uncovers his creative process and captures candid conversations about his vision for the future.
The filming coincided with a pivotal moment in EVEWRIGHT’s practice. As part of Evewright Arts’ Practitioners in Residence at Royal Museums Greenwich (2025), EVEWRIGHT and writer/producer Ionie Richards developed a poignant artistic response to the tragic events on board the British slave ship Zong. The research culminated in Unbroken, held in Ocean Court at the museum,
a powerful exploration of Ocean Justice, memory, and history.
The Documentary includes other featured works as it traces EVEWRIGHT’s iconic site-specific interventions, community engagement, audio sound and film installations including: Unbroken (2026), Libation (2023), Belongings (2023), Lewisham: About Face (2023), Mothers Touch (2022), Tilbury Bridge Walkway of Memories (2020),Walking Drawings Across the Estuaries (2012).
