The Pelathope Community Archive consists of oral histories from previously unrecorded or forgotten narrators, archival photographs, and documents highlighting the history of Pelathope and Mylapore, organised around thematic areas of culture, community, infrastructure/planning, and ecology.
The Mylapore 15-Minute Cultural Neighbourhood Map is a crowd-sourced document that seeks to highlight the unique cultural heritage of the neighbourhood. This serves as a starting point for creating a broad-based and inclusive (re)development framework that leverages the cultural and heritage assets of Mylapore.
Highlights of the event include:
– Guided Walkthroughs – explore a restored heritage row house and its transformation.
– Archival Showcase – Discover historical records, photographs, and oral histories and learn how we plan to build upon this
– Community Conversations – Engage with architects, historians, and residents about the past, present, and future of Mylapore.
– Neighbourhood Visioning – Participate in the first step to shaping a 15-minute cultural vision for Mylapore.
