Post 'World Map' Activity Responses

Abstract

This item contains scans of work produced by school pupils during workshops conducted by the AHRC-funded 'Future Memory in Place' project. See ‘Appendix A’ of the ‘AHRC Project Report’ for details on the activities conducted, the relevant item in ‘School Workshops – Photos’ for images of this activity, and the relevant sections of the ‘Teaching Tools’ for worksheets and support for teachers (links provided above). This project united visual art and ancient history through contemporary landscape painting and research on migration in the ancient world, archaeology, manuscripts, objects, journeys, uncharted maps and music. It was enacted through school workshops and community gatherings around Swansea, and gave over 2,500 school pupils the opportunity to learn about how people relate to the place where they live or have lived, and how memories and the experience of migration can be expressed in art.
