Traces of mobility in the landscape: creative possibilities of everyday heritage practice

This photo essay explores the notion of heritage landscaping as a creative space of radical possibility. In attempting to go beyond a ‘critical heritage examination’ of an iconic heritage artefact, the paper explores how transient traces of ongoing and situated practices of heritage landscaping might provide a means of commons possibility, as an open and inclusive space of sociality. Making room for temporal and spatial complexity and the voices of others, the paper sketches how radical landscape nostalgia might provide the basis for a form of heritage activism that can both critique existing dimensions of power and sketch a space of creative possibility for societal transformation.
