You’ve heard of Venice. You know São Paulo. Now get to know London’s very own arty biennial. The first time Brent hosted this celebration of art, culture and history, it put up a nine-metre-high mural of George Michael in Kingsbury, so expectations are high for what it’s second outing will hold.
This year’s theme is ‘In the House of my Love’ looking at the many meanings of homemaking. Taking place in a cluster of locations in the south of the borough: Kilburn, Willesden and Harlesden, there’ll be 12 artists’ projects to explore over the summer. Look out for Katarzyna Perlak’s traditional Polish paper chandeliers hanging in St Matthew’s Church in Willesden; a former fish and chip shop in Kilburn transformed into a Jamaican takeaway diving into the dancehall’s golden era in northwest London by Linett Kamala and dance performances unpicking queerness, Black identity. Plus, much more alongside a programme public programme of talks, workshops, screenings and family activities.
