ThIs Week In Folkestone (TWF)

‘Contra-Culture’ is an ongoing publication, with Issue 1 launching in Spring 2020. Opening up a debate on class, community, longing, and gender within the context of subcultures. It explores the value of traditions and resistance underlying Folkestone’s vernacular heritage, and hijacks the status-quo of cultural validation in Folkestone’s art scene: by placing alongside it a more diverse language of cultural production in the public sphere: one that holds the application of human imagination, care and emotion in its rawest form. It will also explore the flourishing of subcultures that consider perceived vandalism and trespassing as reclamation and protest.
