A series of art-geography projects focussed on Margate in Kent, England, that explore ideas of representation of the urban. The projects have generated a number of representations of Margate which when collated constitute a cultural map of the area. The projects were funded through the European 'Interreg fund' and the Regional Arts Lottery Programme through South East Arts.
Organised and curated by Derek Hampson and Gary Priestnall of the Cultural Mapping Group, and of Kent Institute of Art and Design (KIAD) and the School of Geography, The University of Nottingham respectively.
