Abstract One of the ways in which we have come to make sense of our social positions and give context to our role in local and global society is by way of an engagement with the photograph. As a means to log events and moments that are key to enabling an interaction with a community’s cultural heritage, the visual as a space for encounter and exchange facilitates not only a photographic dialogue but also the opening up of a network that allows for the components of heritage to be accessed. This article explores the process and methods employed during a participatory youth and community arts project, Voices from the Front Line, that draws upon visual heritage and sought to move beyond the preservation of objects as archives. It will interrogate the use of the visual as a nonlinear framework to engage young people in their community heritage by way of unraveling the political and social history of Brixton’s Railton Road. Engaging with visual heritage, young people’s artistic responses to relevant public archives opened up a discussion about the types of encounters and exchanges that occurred during the project process.

前线的声音：年轻人审问莱顿路的遗产

摘要 我们理解我们的社会地位并为我们在当地和全球社会中的角色提供背景的方式之一是通过与照片的互动。作为记录事件和时刻的一种手段，这些事件和时刻对于实现与社区文化遗产的互动至关重要，视觉作为相遇和交流的空间不仅促进了摄影对话，还促进了网络的开放，允许要访问的遗产。本文探讨了参与性青年和社区艺术项目“前线之声”中采用的过程和方法，该项目利用视觉遗产并试图超越将物品作为档案的保存。它将通过解开布里克斯顿雷顿路的政治和社会历史来质疑视觉作为非线性框架的使用，让年轻人参与到他们的社区遗产中。通过视觉遗产，年轻人对相关公共档案的艺术反应开启了关于项目过程中发生的相遇和交流类型的讨论。
