Researching place and story

A collective memory project in McGregor as a microcosm of the wider exploration of heritage.

A pilot research project for finding safe and welcoming spaces and processes to listen to and take appropriate action on the stories of belonging and not belonging, of inheritance and loss, of shared and unshared memory and of growth, of healing and transformation.

Documenting

 The second aspect  is to find creative ways of gathering data,  using diverse lenses  and creative means of recording lived experiences – documentary film, creative processes,  writing, photography, farming, sport.  

Remembering what has been forgotten.

A third aspect will be find ways of listening for forgotten myths and wisdom streams that are in the collective memory of this particular village in this particular landscape.
