Launch Event, Chimera: An Alternative Kingston Heritage Trail 

Chimera (H±R-A) Historical Re-Anachronism is an alternative heritage and sculpture trail around Kingston town centre by artist Diana Puntar, co-commissioned by Stanley Picker Gallery at Kingston University and the Royal Borough of Kingston.Pick up a free guide at one of the main trail venues.

The trail features artworks that explore the transformation of historical objects, such as the Kingston Coronation Stone, into symbols of English heritage, with locations including Kingston University’s Town House Library, Kingston Museum, Frederick W Paine Funeral Museum and All Saints Church.

Puntar’s project places new sculptures within existing heritage sites and ongoing community engagement, to question the role of monuments in shaping collective memory and cultural identity. Chimera (H±R-A) begins with a monumental sculptural piece in the entrance hall of Town House Library at Kingston University.
