ABOUT



Brent Museum and Archives (BMA) houses and preserves the London Borough of Brent’s museum and archive collection on behalf of Brent Council and the residents of the borough. Brent Museum and Archives’ mission is: To ensure residents can enjoy and learn about the history and diverse cultures of the Borough by collecting, recording and making accessible Brent’s past and present.
Founded by Brent resident Linett Kamala, Lin Kam Art aims to enriches lives through festival culture via public art, residencies, workshops, events and programmes. 

Deeply rooted in community empowerment, the socially engaged creative practice ranges from mentoring emerging creatives to taking up space through festival culture.  Wellbeing and the positive impact of the Arts on our mental health is at the heart of the work of Lin Kam Art.

We works across all ages from primary children to elders using a wide range of media including murals, installations and soundscapes.

Examples of our work includes production for static sound systems at Notting Hill Carnival, the Lin Kam Art Sound System Futures Programme developing the next generation of leads for festivals, Present in the Moment an Arts Council funded public art project in Lambeth working with schools and local community, Kilburn Up High, a design commission for Brondesbury Bridge in Kilburn and the Gladstone Park public art commission; Land Art and History Trail.

Black History Studies was commissioned by Brent Council to undertake research and community engagement and create the content for the Untold Stories heritage trail. Charmaine and Mark Simpson founded Black History Studies in 2007 to address the lack of learning opportunities for the Black community to learn about their history from an African perspective. They deliver training, workshops, resources, research and networking opportunities for individuals and organisations seeking to know more about Black history.
