This Friday, HOP Projects are launching the first of a series of Mini Documentary commissions for ‘TWF’ This Week in Folkestone - a new digital countercultural archive with the work of local artist, Ed Barnes.
Charting contemporary counter-cultures from the margins, our TWF Mini Doc series brings together six projects by artists with a vision for all that is left behind, invisible, and diverse. Created by Ed Barnes, a non-binary working-class child of hippies, punks and crusties, ‘This is My Church’ is an audio-visual piece situated somewhere between art and documentary, exploring fading countercultures and nonconformist groups through the meeting places that were holy to them, their shrines and proving grounds.
