Welcome to Creative Folkestone Triennial 2021. In a new series of podcasts, join us on guided walks that will delve deeper into the themes, ideas and inspirations for this year's exhibition. Whether you are listening at home or as your explore the artworks in person, these tours will offer new perspectives on the artworks.

For episode two, you are invited to join Folkestone Triennial curator Lewis Biggs and actress, director and writer Jessica Hynes as they follow Plot B: William Harvey's Way.

William Harvey (1578–1657) was born in Folkestone in a house near the Guildhall whose household needs were supplied by St Eanswythe’s Water. He was educated in Folkestone before travelling to Padua to study medicine. He was the first physician to describe the systemic circulation and properties of the blood in mammals in his book De Motu Cordis, 1628. The book was revolutionary for its method of argument from experimental procedure and for its description of the heart and circulation of the blood. Harvey became Royal Physician to James I and Charles I, and his statue stands overlooking the sea at the junction of Castle Hill Avenue and The Leas.

Artists featured on Plot B include:

- Pilar Quinteros
- Mariko Hori
