Abstract
In our research we use mapping as a method to give a voice to both inner landscapes and geographical outfields and edges: physical/embodied, landscape related, global and local, independent and institutional, collective and personal. Outfields and edges are interpreted in a wide sense and as both inner and outer spaces. The effort has grown from a year-long collaboration between Irish and Swedish artists and archaeologists in a collaboration between academia and independent artists. We experiment together with the concept of heritage and its implications in the present, with the aim to voice and visualise this research effort through the use of photos, film and sound. Our points of departure are from the more peripheral parts of the European continent and from both within and outside the institutional context, as our research emanates from Irish and Swedish academic and independent contexts and moves beyond traditional borders. From our experiences we approach what might be seen as core experiences relating to the local in the global. We voice life contained in different kinds of landscapes at both micro and macro levels and we listen to its changing pulse.
