For Folkestone Fringe 2017 artist Julia Riddiough & architect David Kitt suggest a wander through land and seascape across the borders of place and space. Exploring how our behaviour manifests itself in locations that might provide us with new perspectives to ‘other’ places, that do not immediately meet the eye! This walk celebrates Folkestone’s unique and thriving arts ecology and architecture in an engaging and accessible way taking in Triennial artworks past and present and hidden secret gems.
