Places, journeying, permanence and transience are all themes that thread throughout the Baton project.

The Kent Cultural Baton offers artist’s space and time to explore and respond to ideas of ‘place’, through their own creative practice discovering what they see as the ‘hidden Kent’.

We are working with a diverse range of artists, writers and academics to create a rich and layered resource that speaks of the different places, textures and narratives that comprise Kent.

The most innovative and exciting discoveries will be brought interactive artwork - an alternative ‘Map of Kent’. This work, brought together by the Lead artist Nicole Mollett, will be multi-platform - existing as an archive, a published record, and a web-based interactive resource.
