What we do
Other People’s Photographs-Folkestone
Public Art
"What Strange Cargo has got is a duplicable attitude, one in which putting art at the heart of the community is not some pious empty piece of rhetoric but means something, because strictly speaking it is not about putting art anywhere, but properly locating it."
Julian Baggini, Philosopher
Charivari Day Carnival
Celebration
Everyone is enriched by the days when everything stops - rifts in the everyday goings-on in public spaces are an important imposition as they change people's habitual behaviour, making them stop and refocus on who they share their outside spaces with.
The Factory - gallery, workshop & office
The Factory
The Factory is Strange Cargo’s HQ, an ex-electricity generating substation in Cheriton. 5 minutes from Folkestone West station and only a 50 minute train journey from London St. Pancras, the space at the Factory includes our gallery, production space workshop and offices, all housed under one large and very cool roof.
