Margate Festival: Tribes 2015
This summer saw Margate re-imagined...
Margate is a playground for creative experimentation, from Mods and Rockers to tidal pool wild swimmers, Provincial Punkers to Dream-makers, the town’s identity is built on subcultures. This summer, Margate Festival revived and celebrated the seaside tribes of summers past and present through a month-long festival, TRIBES.
Participants enjoyed an array of artistic performances, exhibitions and events by the seaside as Turner Contemporary, the newly opened pleasure park Dreamland and partners brought together all of Margate’s tribes for a feast of summer activity.
The festival featured digital games, installations and artist-led invasions; film screenings, workshops and pop-up performances.
Be a part of the new Margate Tribe.

Antony Gormley - 'ANOTHER TIME' For Margate
ANOTHER TIME is a series of one hundred, solid cast-iron figures by Antony Gormley who is known for his sculptures and installations that explore the experience of being human, of inhabiting a human body. This sculpture which is situated in Margate, by Turner Contemporary, becomes visible about 3 hours before low tide, so to be sure of seeing it, check the daily tide times here:
Individual sculptures from ANOTHER TIME have been installed all over the world, from the River Thames in London to Kunisaki in Japan. A figure has been positioned on Fulsam Rock on the Margate foreshore, visible at low tide from our first floor balcony and from the shoreline behind the gallery.
Antony Gormley describes these isolated forms, cast from his own body as an attempt to bear witness to what it is like to be alive and alone in space and time. Made from iron, a material more usually associated with heavy industry, the industrial method of casting the sculpture is readable on its surface, whilst invisible joint lines reveal the way the plaster mould was divided and reassembled prior to casting.
The figures in this series are identical to the hundred sculptures of ANOTHER PLACE (2007), permanently sited on Crosby Beach in Liverpool. Whilst each work in ANOTHER PLACE faces the horizon, those in ANOTHER TIME all have a different orientation.
Antony Gormley (born 1950) began creating sculptures cast from his own body in 1981. His works have been shown in exhibitions and public locations internationally. He is known for his public sculptures The Angel of the North in Gateshead (1998) and Event Horizon (2007-2015), which has been shown in London, New York, Sao Paolo and Hong Kong.

Is this pop-up London pub the world's most ethical boozer?
(14 Sep 2019) LEAD IN:
A pop-up pub in London is aiming to be the world's most ethical boozer.
The venue's founders says everything customers buy and use has a positive environmental and social impact, and it turns out most are happy to spend for a good cause.
STORY-LINE:
It's guilt-free drinking inside this pop-up pub in London's trendy Shoreditch neighbourhood.
That's because customers here can consume all they like safe in the knowledge their purchasing is helping others.
The Green Vic pop-up pub aims to be the most ethical pub in the world.
That means everything it sells to customers and everything it spends money on as a business has a positive social or environmental impact.
Founder Randy Rampersad says he was initially looking to set up an ethical pub by copying a business model from elsewhere.
But when he started to do his research, he couldn't find any sign that anyone anywhere else had tried it.
When I was Googling, that's when I had my eureka moment, as I was like, I can't believe that there wasn't a pub like this already. You know, why not do it? What a fun way to make the world a better place, he says.
A portion of the profits made from the pop-up pub venture goes to one of 40 local charities.
The business also prides itself on hiring at least a quarter of its staff from vulnerable or disadvantaged backgrounds, including people who have experienced homelessness, have criminal records, or who are living with a disability.
It works with charities to recruit staff.
Any bit of money that we make goes towards a good cause, so any turnover. So if we spend over half a million (pounds) in beer I know at least 40 to 80 percent of that is going towards good causes. And, same with wages, is going towards paying the vulnerable people. Same with profit, we have, 10 to 15 percent of that is going towards good causes as well, Rampersad explains.
While the pop-up venture is temporary for now, it seems to be proving popular, and staff are being kept busy on the beer taps.
The main challenge really is cost. Being ethical is a lot more expensive. It's as simple as that really. But yeah, for me, I wanted to do this pub just to see is it possible to have a business that is profitable and ethical in everything it does. That was the dream, is it even possible? We've proved that it is. But for other businesses to try and emulate it and do it, they can do, but they don't have to be as extreme as us. They can just do one or two things, just change the toilet paper, or just change the bin bags. Or just change one bit. Baby steps. Every little bit helps, Rampersad says.
The Green Vic pop-up pub also uses ethical suppliers, non-profits or social enterprises, for everything - from its wheat stem straws to the soap and toilet paper in the loos and the uniforms worn by its staff.
For Naomi Chester, who works as a bartender and a DJ at the pub and who has experience of homelessness, having an understanding employer is hugely important.
There is like damaging effects to the mind whenever (you're) finding an employer or someone to work with in general. It's something about interacting with humans again that is difficult. And you want to find someone who isn't so much of a dictator. You want to find someone who will look at you as a human. Because already you feel dehumanised, completely. You feel invisible. So you don't want to further your mental health illnesses more by working with someone who's damaging, she says.

Shell Grotto Margate HD
The Shell Grotto in Margate. Located in the middle of a neighbourhood I was surprised at how much detailing their was with the Shell Decoration and how large it was inside. There is no history about the Grotto other than the fact it was found in 1835.
