See latest news below for exciting events and sharings of the LIVING WORDS of people we have worked with!

19th – 22nd October sees us curating Folkestone Triennial artwork Customs House: Urban Room. LANGUAGE, LOCATION AND ME sees events across the four days and interactions within the space. Explore the boundaries of speech and how language affects our perceptions of ourselves and others by – eavesdropping on conversations; watching films; taking part in workshops; rewriting the UK citizenship test; attending a performance lecture; hearing the words of writers declaring where they live; and listening to a record playing the voices of Folkestone.
