Learning From Kilburn was a tiny experimental university with its curriculum rooted in Kilburn, NW6.

The university used the high road and its hinterland as a campus, occupying a number of locations for classes running from October 2013 to April 2014.

Weekly classes studied what makes Kilburn what it is, led by a range of artists, architects, writers and thinkers. Each class asked a single question, looking at one thing at a time in order to understand Kilburn as a whole. The university wanted to know what Kilburn looks like, where it starts and finishes, how money works in Kilburn, whether Kilburn even exists, where Kilburn is going.

Learning From Kilburn was aimed at local people, but free of charge for anyone to attend.

Learning From Kilburn is a Spacemakers project, directed by Tom Keeley in collaboration with OK-RM and Pernilla Ohrstedt Studio, and funded by the London Boroughs of Brent and Camden.
