Community Partners

575 Wandsworth Road was the home of Khadambi Asalache (1935-2006), a Kenyan-born poet, novelist and British civil servant who, prompted to disguise a damp patch in his basement, spent almost 20 years transforming his modest terraced house into a work of art. Today, his home has become a source of inspiration for collaborators and creatives of all ages, forging connections in the local community and working in partnership to open up engagement opportunities to this incredible place, far beyond its physical borders.
