Portland Pathways was a unique heritage project, run by b-side arts organisation and funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund, on the Isle of Portland in 2018. The project explored the rich and vital history of public rights of way across the island, and the historic sites these pathways link. As the Research Coordinator for the project, I worked with an incredible group of local residents to explore local archives and collections, conduct field activities and walks to document the pathways, and record local memories of these ways. The research report the group created went towards a series of walks and maps by artist Ania Bas, for b-side Festival, along with an exhibition at b-side Outpost gallery in Fortuneswell, in June 2018.
