The streets of Margate are 97% White. Its Black residents, make up just 0.5% of a population of 65,000. Inspired by award-winning artist Barbara Walker’s Turner Contemporary exhibition 'Place, Space and Who' exploring the lives of marginalised Black women in Margate, 0.5% looks at excerpts of the lives of Black people thriving and surviving in a community, and the fleeting but powerful connection between them. On a single day in Margate, the sheer existence of four strangers brings joy and comfort to a group of individuals living in the area, and their experiences interlink: Jide, an 81-year-old man who has called Kent home for the last sixty years. Falle, a young father and musician. Kanndiss, who practices self-care through movement. And lastly teenage Shianna, who wonders what lies beyond her small town.
