Year Three: Camden What identity means to me... Creative Connections is a four-year project connecting young people in London with contemporary artists to create new responses to the National Portrait Gallery’s Collection. The spotlights for this third year of the project have been the London borough of Camden and the portraits and biographies of selected individuals who have local connections. The project partner has been Haverstock School and the artist, photographer Kate Peters. The young people explored the history of photography and the language of portraiture, while developing their creative and technical skills. Kate engaged them with interesting and curious facts about the people from Camden, symbolised through the use of objects. Together they created a new series of portraits. Camden is a place of great contrasts ranging from the leafy, green spaces of Hampstead and Highgate to the busy areas of Bloomsbury and Covent Garden. The Camden Town area is famous for its alternative cultural and music scenes and has become a popular destination for tourists. There are diverse countries in the world but in Camden you get the whole world. Participant, Haverstock School Creative Connections is generously supported by the Palley family.

ISBN: 978-1907869785; £14.99. and Sophie Parkin, The Colony Room Club: A History of Bohemian Soho, 1948-2006, hardback, 265 pages, London: Palmtree Publishers, 2012. ISBN: 978-0957435407; £35. Reviewed by James Heartfield (Freelance, UK) The Literary London Journal, Volume 12 Number 1–2 (Spring/Autumn 2015) Bloomsbury and Soho in the nineteenth century were places where political refugees lived, though the Germans preferred Bloomsbury, just to the north, on the grounds that the Parisians of Soho were all drunks and womanisers. Phil Cohen is a long-standing activist and now academic, who has written his memoir of radical Bloomsbury, while writer and club manager Sophie Parkin’s history of drinking clubs takes Soho as its epicentre, and in particular the Colony Club on Dean Street. Phil Cohen was sent to St Paul’s School and later Oxford, but his attention was taken up by the London of Somerstown and Bloomsbury. As a youth worker, he wandered through the radical 1960s, being involved in various movements of the Fluxus and Situationist art scene that he met in bookshops like Better Books, India, and later Gay’s the Word, and working for a while as an assistant to the surrealist John Latham. He participated in the radical psychoanalytic movement led by R. D. Laing, paying for his treatment with more youth work, and then took part in the Dialectic of Liberation conference with Black Power’s Stokely Carmichael, New Leftist Herbert Marcuse and Beat poet Allen Ginsberg at the Roundhouse in 1967.
