K2K Radio is a community-powered station and creative platform based at Metroland Studios in Kilburn. Founded in 2012, it has grown into an inclusive, volunteer-led hub where people of all ages and backgrounds can connect, create, and share their voices.
From live radio shows and DJ sets to hands-on training and community events, K2K offers space and support for anyone curious about broadcasting, music, and media as well as people looking to giveback and connect. Relocating to Metroland and Kilburn Square in 2024 has deepened K2K’s roots, placing it at the heart of a network of residents, artists, and grassroots changemakers. Today, the station continues to champion hidden voices, amplify culture and creativity, and use radio as a joyful tool for confidence, wellbeing, and collective connection.
Brent Biennial 2025: FIRE Ritual
FIRE Ritual takes place from 26 September to 12 October 2025, centring on metamorphosis, loss, rage and regeneration. FIRE ignites and mutates, and this chapter of the Biennial explores how creation and destruction can forge new paths through collective acts of remembrance and transformation.
Fire is a tool, both revered and feared. A glowing hearth calls us home, to safety and sustenance. Gentle embers create warmth, while a blazing flame provides illumination and force for change. Its power is exponential and the loss of its control threatens destruction. Fire symbolises the potential for creation and destruction. It challenges the notion that structures should last forever, and instead speaks to transferences of im/materiality across dimensions.
FIRE Ritual forms part of the programme for Brent Biennial 2025. Titled Bones, stones, and calling the four elements, the Biennial is curated by Annie Jael Kwan, and unfolds across a series of four elemental rituals – WATER, EARTH, FIRE and AIR – at four Brent sites - a public reservoir, a park, an old medical facility and a university campus. Located in the north and south of the borough— Harrow, Wembley and Kilburn— the ‘rituals’ will feature 28 artists presenting workshops, talks, performance and exhibition.
FIRE Ritual is presented by the Brent Biennial 2025 in partnership with Metroland Cultures, with the support of Arts Council England, Brent Council, Canada Council for the Arts, Hong Kong Arts Development Council, Granville Community Kitchen and Something Human.
