Kingston: a guidebook from memory is a community art project towards the creation of a physical 'guidebook' of Kingston. Unlike traditional tourist guides which highlight local attractions, this book is an invitation to experience our city through the stories of our neighbours. 

What places in our city hold significance for you? What is your earliest memory in Kingston? What memories continue to linger or haunt your street, your neighbourhood, your commute to work?

We were fortunate to launch the book in the spring of 2025 with the support of Single Thread Theatre, the Kick and Push Festival, and Thousand Island Playhouse.

Beautifully illustrated by Grace Dixon, copies of the guidebook can be found at Novel Idea, the Montreal Street Collective, and here on our website.
