J D Swann is an ornithological investigator often working with communities in Bexley and Greenwich, London. Walks and events include with Estuary Festival, Stephen Turner’s Exbury Egg, Bow Arts, Three Rivers, InspiralLondon, Greenwich Peninsula Ecology Park and RSPB Rainham Essex with Kinetika. He has live streamed with InspiralSE2 (Calum F Kerr & Miyuki Kasahara) in various locations in South-East London and Isle of Portland, Dorset.  

Three Rivers is an action-research programme, founded in a practice of creative care for people and places in Bexley, which supports local communities to engage with arts and culture by experiencing their surroundings in new ways.

Tump 39 is a long-term project working with communities in North Thamesmead to reimagine a disused and rewilded Victorian munitions magazine that has been closed for 20 years. Alongside reopening the site to the locals, Three Rivers is collaborating with artists, storytellers, activists and ecologists through a seasonal program.

Friends of Tump 39 is a team of local volunteers who act on behalf of the communities who use and care for Tump 39. They are the natural starting point for cultural work where people and places meet and work closely with the Three Rivers team to develop a site-sensitive creative programme that recognises both human and more-than-human ‘beings’ in the co-creation process.
