Mapping Peatland Justice: Embedding Time and Traces

On 16 September 2024 Framer Framed hosts the workshop Mapping Peatland Justice: Embedding Time and Traces. Part of the Peatland Justice campaign, it is one of a series of mapping workshops organised by the RE-PEAT collective. The campaign advocates for a phase-out and ban on the trade of peat in the horticultural sector, pushing for a just transition for people, peatlands, and creatures.

Mapping Peatland Justice: Embedding Time and Traces explores how to embed time and traces of what came before into maps. It uses cyanotypes to reflect on changes in peatlands and human relationships over time. Participants will engage in both the conceptual and practical sides of capturing time in a (counter)map. The process and co-created maps will be part of a deep map, created to show the trade of peat across Europe alongside capturing the stories and relationships between people and peatlands.

The workshop is guided by RE-PEAT, a youth-led collective working at the intersection of wetlands, creative campaigning, science communication, storytelling and youth advocacy. Their work aims to raise the awareness and appreciation of peatlands, ultimately shifting the narrative around peatlands from one of wasteland to one of wonder.

Join us to dive into the world of peatlands, share stories about peatlands and create together a piece that captures the past, present, and future of these important ecosystems.

Mapping Peatland Justice: Embedding Time and Traces is open to artists, environmentalists and activists – both peatland experts and newcomers alike. The workshop takes place on 16 September between 18:00 – 21:00, as part of Creative Skills Week 2024.
