The Art of the Magic Lantern will work with communities across Kent to research local history, and make a series of contemporary fables using photographic slides. Local communities will be invited to help construct a site-specific story, which reflects local issues old and new. The performances have been touring a range of venues, often working outside of the traditional cultural venues to reach new audiences.

This project is being produced by Island Projects. Island projects is an independent non-profit curatorial practice based in Kent which focuses on commissioning contemporary art in unusual public spaces. The delivery of this project is made possible with the support of local partners across Kent and funding from Arts Council England and Kent County Council.
