Its aim is to add to the chemistry, voices and dynamic of what can happen in a locality and wider arts community. Strangelove is not wholly rooted in Folkestone, with future plans worldwide. It launched as a new cohesive and student galvanising project for Central Saint Martins in London in 2015 to bring the various departments, disciplines and threads of a large art school together via the power of moving image. The project in Folkestone is designed to create an output for current and future artists and bring this together with renowned international art world artists and curators.</p> <p><a href="http://www.strangelovefestival.com/">http://www.strangelovefestival.com/</a></p> <p>Twitter: @astrangerlove <br>Instagram: @strangelovefestival</p> <p><a href="http://www.strangelovefestival.com/"></a></p> <p><br></p>
