DOVER ARTS DEVELOPMENT

Dover Town Council commissioned DAD to deliver the Pebbles project in order to deepen the public’s understanding and appreciation of the geology of chalk and pebbles.
We are delighted, now that this multi-faceted commission is nearing completion, to be able to show the films that have been made as part of the project in Dover's Silver Screen cinema.
Benjamin Hunt, a young artist who has recently moved to Dover, has been working with Pebbles CIC and Geologist Mel Wrigley, as well as with local communities and schools to uncover factual, fictional, mythical narratives regarding the White Cliffs of Dover and its beaches, and in particular to consider erosion as a key theme.
