All Postcards - Backs - Censored

Abstract

This item contains all of the backs of the postcards produced by school pupils during workshops conducted as part of the AHRC-funded 'Future Memory in Place' project. They are firstly divided by school, and then divided into ZIP files containing up to 15 postcards. The texts on the back of the postcards are responses to the following four questions: 1) If you could take any part of Swansea to the moon what would it be? 2) If you could put Swansea anywhere in the world where would you put it? 3) If you could take any part of the world and bring it to Swansea what would it be and where would you locate it? 4) When you think of Swansea what colours come to mind? More information on this activity is available in Appendix B of the AHRC Project Report (link provided above). Some postcards have been censored due to them containing sensitive information relating to children; such censorship is made obvious using only a black box to conceal this information. All of the postcards have also been uploaded in their uncensored form as another item in this community (link provided), though access is restricted. Please see the information on the community’s main page regarding how you can request access to this data. The AHRC-funded 'Future Memory in Place' 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.
