Folkestone Fringe 2025: Flint & Clay

Flint & Clay 2025

CURATORIAL STATEMENT

These are charged times. The social and political landscape is shifting under our feet. Here we step on weald clay, greensand and chalk, across scattered flints and eggshells.

But we hold both Flint & Clay in our hands.

We can shape arrowheads, or hearths, build walls or build fires that warm and feed us.

Exploring what we choose to hold onto, for Folkestone Fringe 2025, we will curate a town-wide conversation around three key questions/themes:

• What connects us?
• What divides us?
• (Un)Imagined Futures

STRUCTURE

Flint & Clay will run from 1 September to 19 October 2025.

The Fringe team will curate three ‘trails’ from proposals submitted under each of the themes.
