The Voices of Peacehaven: Photography and photographic documentation: visual storytelling and creating historical timelines
Developing Memory boxes
Fieldtrips (through Peacehaven; archive visits to Eastbourne Library (memory boxes), University of Brighton Aldrich library (exhibition and architecture books), the Keep (archives)
Outcome: travelling community exhibition
The group share personal documents and create their own historical timelines: Freire’s idea of conscientization
