Join us for a special closing event to Chimera (H±R-A) by artist Diana Puntar on Saturday 1 November 2025 for guided walking tours at 11am and 2pm.
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 for Kingston 2025.
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.
Pick up a free guide at one of the main trail venues or download it from the Gallery's website here.
