Strange Cargo is delighted to announce the publication of Other People’s Photographs: The Making of a Very Public Artwork, the definitive book of the permanent public art installation comprising personal photographs of family and friends in the streets of Folkestone, Cheriton and Sandgate.

Beautifully printed in A4 landscape format with a foreword by Brett Rogers, director of the Photographers’ Gallery in London, the book begins with the most recent colour snaps running chronologically back in time as far as the 1800s, capturing the collective experiences that unify us through the generations.
