Jelly Mould Pavilion by Lubaina Himid. Built on Folkestone Beach for the 2017 Triennial. It is now part of Folkestone's Triennial arts festival 2021.


Lubaina Himid, Jelly Mould Pavilion, 2017 The Boardwalk crosses the site of the former Rotunda amusement park which, until it was demolished in 2004, was filled with attractions and amusements. This pavilion is modelled on a Victorian ceramic jelly mould collected by the artist and decorated with her own coloured patterns. Sweet jellies became fashionable once Great Britain established its slave trade and sugar plantations. The artist’s tribute to the Black community here stands between the sea (and the Atlantic slave trade) and the sugar of candy floss and toffee apples fuelling the fun of summer visitors.
