Public Art Georges House Gallery Celebratory Arts Training & Education The Giants Project
Strange Cargo Commissioned for the 2011 Folkestone Triennial

For the 2011 Folkestone Triennial Strange Cargo are producing a People’s Guidebook to Folkestone. We need you to think about places that trigger a memory and then share your ideas with us to go into the book.

Please tell us about your Folkestone, sharing the quirky knowledge you have about the places and objects that exist in the town.

This project is not about...

Memories of Summer
‘Identity’ is the main source of inspiration in Martine’s work. She focuses on everyday objects and landscapes. By placing these in a particular context, Martine creates a thought-provoking and fascinating perspective – and in this way she explores how identity is created and influenced by its environment.
