Why Folkestone?
Why Folkestone? A question that newcomers to Folkestone are asked frequently.
A new photographic narrative of a town that is changing demographically. It aims to start difficult conversations around the idea of home, belonging and the implications of migration and the local communities in Folkestone.
It hopes to push boundaries by bringing together different groups of people who generally have little if any, association with each other in a gallery space to promote integration, acceptance, and coexistence.
Commissioned as part of the 5th Platforma Festival, produced by Counterpoints Arts.
