FOLKESTONE Body As Data: Maps In Motion

Sidonie Carey-Green & The Body as Data

A performance-led project working with displaced people and local residents to creatively resist border surveillance.

St. Paul

Launching during Refugee Week with food and music, these creative workshops exploring movement, sound, and storytelling invite people with lived experience of displacement &amp; those who share the value that people who arrive in the UK seeking safety have the right to live freely. Led by the Body as Data collective, the sessions centre on creative agency and cultural expression - and will feed into the Body as Data project’s larger performance mapping event and digital archive that remaps erased histories and reclaims space across the Kent coast.Folkestone WorkshopsLaunching at the Napier Drop in, Wednesday 25th June 10:30 to 1:30 (This is a closed session only open to those who attend napier Drop-In) Continuing on Saturday 28th June, 5th, 12th July - Open to anyone to attend.14:00 to 16:00St Paul's Church Hall, Sandgate Hill, Sandgate, Kent CT20 3AXBooking is essential.
