This project invites local artists, creatives and residents to tell the stories of Kilburn through a series of curated public walking tours up and down Kilburn High Road.
Kilburn High Road is a place for me, a place where I feel I belong, and a hub with a global sense of a place. Starting in 2023, each walk leader will lead a public walk that starts or ends on Kilburn High Road. To prepare for the walk, each walk leader will conduct field and archival research on/about Kilburn High Road, such as interviewing the business owners on Kilburn High Road, creating time-elapse films or documentary films about the high road, visiting the local library and community centers to collect local stories about the people who live nearby the high road, etc. Individual walk leaders are selected through nominations. Through nominations, this project aims to blur the boundary between different communities spanning across different boroughs, encourage cross-generation and cross-cultural connections, and search for new ways of being together physically, virtually, and creatively as we walk down the Kilburn High Road.
What we'll deliver:

Steps to get it done:
Kilburn High Road is between the London Borough of Brent, Camden, and Westminster. It has been a historical place for migrants, travelers, and duellers. In 1134, Kilburn High Road was used as a shopping place for pilgrims on their way to the shrines at St.Albans and Willesden. In early 1800, Kilburn became a notorious dueling spot. As the boundary of Brent and Camden boroughs, and one of the focused strategic areas for regeneration in The London Plan 2021, Kilburn High Road has become a portal that connects the past, the present, and the future.
