A Festival by Common Grounding | 19–21 June 2026 | Kollectiv Gallery, Folkestone
This Refugee Week, we're gathering in Folkestone for three days of art, film, movement and community. Homeward is our response to this year's theme of courage and an invitation to come together, bear witness, celebrate and dance.
Taking place across the weekend at Kollectiv Gallery on Folkestone's Old High Street, Homeward brings together artists, makers, performers and community members for a programme that is intimate in scale but expansive in spirit. From a world premiere dance film to a community feast, everyone is welcome.
