Rooms of Neighbours brings contemporary art into Peckham homes

Curator Ben Broome launched Rooms of Neighbours, a community art project on a single street in Peckham, south-east London, inspired by the 1986 Ghent exhibition Chambres d'Amis. Unlike the original, which placed art in homes of art-world insiders, Broome's project involves a diverse mix of council and privately owned flats and houses. Top contemporary artists created site-specific works, including a mural in a baby's bedroom and a sound sculpture designed to be played from a convertible. The project aims to foster neighborly connections through art.
