Local residents in Swiss Cottage, Somers Town and Kilburn have mapped the places that are most significant to them in a new collaborative project from 麻豆传媒视频网站 Culture, Camden Libraries and lead artist Richard DeDomenici, supported by the Carnegie UK Trust.The 鈥榊ourtopia: What Makes a Neighbourhood?鈥� project posed this question to diverse communities, drawing on local history, addressing social issues including air pollution, street harassment and gentrification, and exploring the shape of the neighbourhood of the future.In summer and autumn 2021, residents of each area were invited to join DeDomenici on a series of one-to-one socially distanced walks, each of which was filmed.Key locations from these walks were then marked as nodes on a bespoke online map, where you can watch the short films made on each site.Explore the Yourtopia mapThe map created from these walks and conversations is a living online resource, which will continue to evolve as it is updated with further testimonies from local people.The project will be presented publicly in November 2021 with celebration events at Camden People鈥檚 Theatre on 20 November and Bloomsbury Theatre on 29 November, giving opportunities for family, friends, researchers, colleagues and the public to watch and discuss the films made, and imagine what their future neighbourhood could look like.Speaking about the project, Richard DeDomenici said:鈥淚t was hugely exciting to meet and talk to so many passionate, knowledgeable Camden residents about the local places that have impacted their lives, or stirred their imaginations. I hope that the map we have created together is a thought-provoking snapshot of this borough through the eyes of the people who know it best, and prompts our online visitors to ask what gives their own neighbourhood life and meaning鈥�.

A free Petrie Museum of Egyptian and Sudanese Archaeology display for school and family audiences, part of a project marking 100 years since the discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun, explores Tutankhamun鈥檚 life as a young boy at the royal palaces of Amarna and Gurob.In 'Tutankhamun the Boy: Growing Up in Ancient Egypt', objects and archives from the museum collection shed light on the people who lived, worked, and played in these vibrant cities thousands of years ago. The display looks at how wealth and status shaped childhood in ancient Egypt, comparing Tutankhamun鈥檚 privileged childhood with those of poorer children. It also explores some of the shared experiences of ancient Egyptian children, including play and medicine.The display is built in response to children鈥檚 questions about Tutankhamun, gathered from children at the project鈥檚 partner school, George Mitchell Primary School in east London, and from modern-day Amarna (near the modern city of Deir Mawas, province of El Minia).Display objects, including ancient Egyptian games, jewellery, and figurines depicting gods and goddesses, have been chosen to respond to the questions that the pupils wanted to ask Tutankhamun, including 鈥榃ho is in your family?鈥�, 鈥楧o you go to school?鈥�, 鈥榃ho do you worship?鈥� and 鈥榃hat鈥檚 your favourite toy?鈥橮artners supporting the Petrie Museum to deliver this project are 麻豆传媒视频网站 Widening Participation and the University of Cambridge鈥檚 Amarna Project.The display and 18-month long wider project are generously funded by the Esm茅e Fairbairn Collections Fund, administered by the Museums Association on behalf of the Esm茅e Fairbairn Foundation, and the Friends of the Petrie Museum.Visit the Petrie Museum websiteRead the Tutankhamun the Boy exhibition listingRead the project press release
