Chronicles of Kilburn
February 2024 - December 2024
Chronicles of Kilburn is a series of workshops which aims to support local communities and organisations to explore the intangible heritage and histories of Kilburn through various art forms. We will partner with a different organisation for each workshop. All sessions will be delivered by artists and a team of practitioners who will support and encourage participants to share their own stories through different methods of gathering oral histories. Across the year, art forms will include animation, music, playwriting, poetry and photography.
