David Nettleingham

Dr David Nettleingham is a sociologist and artist born and bred on the Isle of Thanet.

In both his social research and creative practice, he is interested in the power of narrative, memory and folk mythologies; the material manifestations of changing social values and political imaginaries; the boundaries we draw between the ‘natural’ and ‘industrial’.
