New art mural set to transform Kilburn High Road

New art mural set to transform Kilburn High Road

10 August 2022

Brent Communications

A major new art installation will be introduced on the Brondesbury railway bridge bringing a splash of colour to the heart of Kilburn High Road.

Brent Council and Camden Council have joined together to commission the new artwork that will span almost 21 metres on both sides of the bridge serving Brondesbury Station.

The world renowned Wood Street Walls and local Kilburn artist, Linett Kamala from Lin Kam Art will be delivering the exciting project.

The mural will be a celebration of Kilburn’s rich cultural heritage and local residents are invited to share their ideas and help shape the artwork through a series of summer workshops. There will then be a public vote to select the final design in December 2022 and it will be painted in Spring 2023.

“

We are excited to get our first joint project with Camden Council off the ground. This cements our partnership and supports our shared vision and ambitions for Kilburn town centre. It provides a welcome opportunity for local people to help shape the future of their area and contribute towards creating a connected, revitalised and thriving town centre.

”
Cllr Southwood,
Cabinet Member for Jobs, Economy & Citizen Experience at Brent Council

Mark Clack from Wood Street Walls CIC commented:

"We are delighted to work alongside Linett, Brent and Camden Councils to deliver this project. We are very much looking forward to not just realising Linett's and the Kilburn community's vision in delivering this large scale piece of public art, but also pass on our insight and expertise to the next generation of aspiring artists and creatives in the area. Through our Muralism Academy programme we intend to deliver training of delivering high impact outdoor artworks at scale, along with industry recognised certification, building on the Mayors construction and creative academy framework we are seeing implemented throughout London."

Linett Kamala from Lin Kam Art commented:

“As a Kilburn resident who also grew up in the area, I couldn’t be more excited to be working with Wood Street Walls on this important commission. I hope the project will add to the wonderful cultural and creative legacy of Kilburn and provide an opportunity for local people to be involved in and benefit from this contribution to improving the public realm. I am looking forward to providing mentoring opportunities and running workshops through Lin Kam Art for local people.”

As part of this project, there is also a range of opportunities available for local creatives including:

A free art mentorship programme with Lin Kam Art.

A free training programme with Wood Street Walls teaching creatives how to deliver public art projects with a globally recognised certificate on completion of the course.

To get involved and help shape the artwork or to register your interest in the courses, please email: regenerationandplace@camden.gov.uk.
