Kilburn Print Workshop – ‘Meet the Traders: Issue 01’ 

Could a print workshop sit at, and be intrinsic to, the heart of a community?

Meet the Traders: Issue 01

‘Meet the Traders: Issue 01’ published by The Kilburn Print Workshop a community print initiative at Metroland initiated and led by artist Heiba Lamara

The Kilburn Print Workshop is an ongoing project with artist Heiba Lamara dedicated to community publishing and print and design education. Inspired by the radical print workshops of 1970s–80s North/West London.

Over the last 18-months The Kilburn Print Workshop has been working with local residents and groups to produce a series of printed outcomes, to reimagine and map out the landscape of community print and publishing in Kilburn today, the focus of the print workshop will move outwards from Metroland Studios, through to Kilburn Market, and onto the High Road.

The first release was in collaboration with Kilburn Market, sharing the traders’ stalls, stories and in support of one of London’s oldest markets currently facing pressure under threats form redevelopment and lowering high street economics.

About Heiba Lamara

Since 2013 Heiba Lamara has worked as an artist-researcher exploring independent print and archival practices and publishing as a creative practice for social change. She is Assistant Editor of OOMK (One of my Kind) a zine and publishing collective focused on the spiritual, political and artistic practices of women artists. 

Her focus is on self-directed project-based research around print, oral histories, archives and coloniality translating these into zines, artist books and participatory workshops and exhibitions that offer readers/participants an entry point to developing a closer relationship with underexplored topics related to the cultural history of marginalised communities. Driven to provide accessible print spaces under austerity measures, she co- founded the community Risograph print studio Rabbits Road Press in 2017.

Heiba Lamara is also a Metroland Cultures studio holder
