We hope to help Kwesi, Maia and their team re-invigorate a struggling part of town with culture, creativity and hope. The Folded Space will be a platform for local artists, creatives and socially minded organisations to share and co-create in a space hosted for that purpose. The vision is of art, music, spoken word and discussion events organically bringing together the disparate communities of Southend.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">The team plan to start proceedings with a &#8220;Freedom Exhibition&#8221; &#8211; like the Hive did &#8211; to get local people involved in the creation of their project.
