Project story
Trees carry more than rings.
TreeRouted explores trees as living archives of heritage. Through personal videos recorded around the world, the project links family memory, migration, trade routes, diaspora, conflict, care, environmental change and everyday life.
Users will be able to explore stories by tree type—such as mango or olive—or through themes including love, war and climate change. Together, the stories form a living archive that is locally rooted and globally connected.
“Tree” is one of the first words we learn in any language, because trees carry the story of our own roots.
What the project creates
- Community-led stories and personal videos rooted in particular trees.
- Film, photography and digital narratives for a shared public platform.
- Connections between ecological knowledge, migration, memory and cultural heritage.
- Learning resources for schools, universities and community groups.
