Programme overview
Landscape is not static scenery.
Heritage, Memory and Landscapes connects cultural memory, ecological change and place-based heritage. It approaches landscapes as lived and layered environments: places shaped by routes, labour, migration, conflict, care, climate change and everyday practice.
The programme follows the relationships through which people give meaning to a place. A tree, a road, a harbour, a field or an urban neighbourhood can carry memories of movement and belonging while also revealing environmental and social change.
A landscape becomes heritage through the relationships, knowledge and memories that people sustain within it.
Programme aims
- Understand landscapes through lived experience rather than scenery alone.
- Connect cultural memory with ecological and climate-related change.
- Trace routes of labour, migration, trade, diaspora, conflict and care.
- Make place-based knowledge useful through research, stories and learning resources.
