Lara Band, who recently graduated from the MA Contemporary Art and Archaeology with Distinction, has had a paper published as part of the latest Livingmaps Review journal.
Her piece discusses a six-minute film she made with Middlesex Filter Beds Nature Reserve in Hackney, London, UK and explores ways to work with and not on sites, to acknowledge the deeply entangled more-than-human world we all live in.
The accompanying essay, In the midst of rich meadows, it was perfectly clear, I walked with company: Creative Archaeological Research for the Anthropocene discusses the research and practice underpinning the film, which arose from coursework during the MA.
Issue 18 of Livingmaps Review is a conference special edition with contributions from participants in the Livingmaps Network‘s more-than-human mapping conference which was held in 2025.
You can watch the film, and access the paper here.
