Kensal Voices
April – December 2013
The V&A is supporting Kensal Voices, a project run by SPID Theatre. Kensal Voices focuses on the heritage of council estate Kensal House, a listed building in North Kensington, which has been designed by modernist architect Maxwell Fry.
The V&A believes this is a valuable project to raise awareness of design and architectural heritage and to strengthen relationships between the V&A and local community groups.
As partner museum, the V&A will prepare and deliver research sessions and educational activities that aim to introduce the group to the V&A’s collections, broadening the young people’s knowledge and understanding of design and architectural heritage.
