Park Kitchen is a community research and documentary film project which is running once a month throughout 2026!
Each month we visit a different London borough, and find a bandstand, in a park. In this bandstand, we build a kitchen. This kitchen is designed by different artists each time, reflecting their vision of this domestic and private space.
We then invite local residents to cook, eat and chat together in this public/private space. All the while, we are filming the interactions that occur, for a documentary film project we will make in 2027, with all the footage collated.
The film will look at how Bandstands can be used as community spaces, and what kind of interactions happen in a purposefully curated 'private' space, within a public realm.
