Join Chilen artist Amalia Pascal for a Pschogeographic walk of Folkestone. The walk is a process-based experience that focuses on the effect of Folkestone’s geographical location on the emotions and behaviours of individuals. Through this walk, we will be able to listen other’s memories and knowledge and create an archive (audio and images) based on our experiences of specific Folkestone based memories.
Amalia Pascal is an artist that specialises in the management of cultural projects that connect different communities and cultural organisations in relation to artistic mediation, art, and heritage. Reactivating social dynamics using art, dialogue as creative tool through collaborative propositions. Encouraging experience and creating safe places where art practice and communities can co-develop, reflect and signify the inhabited place with project processes based on local traditions and collaboration.
This workshop is part of series of workshops by Amalia Pascal as part a larger Project titled Prescient Pool (PP) run by Hop Projects CT20. PP is a programme of publicly engaged art with commissions from 3 outstandings artists reinterpreting on-going archives of local heritage and oral history in Folkestone. Artists include Joff Insole, Jacob Bray and Amalia Pascal.
PP collaborates with Pavement Pounders CIC, and invites local and international artists to re-interpret the work of local organisation Pavement Pounders, who since 2010 collected memories spoken, written & visual of Folkestone by its people.
PP is a curate programme of public events: workshops, talks, performance, walks and exhibitions, taking place between April - September 2019, allowing the public to be an active participant in the process of art production. As a catalyst, PP aims to raise the public’s awareness of the rich local heritage in Folkestone, and to allow fresh interpretations of what it means by ‘place’ and ‘locality’ as a cultural production, and a common ground between different cultures and ethnicities.
