Newhaven, East Sussex

Mapping + Talking

We’re thrilled to announce support from @HeritageFundUK for our Newhaven Connected project. The National Lottery Heritage Fund has enabled Rachael Adams and Robert Littleford to expand on their recent exhibition ‘Border: After Ravilious’. They examined the sense of place of the Sussex landscapes of WWII-artist Eric Ravilious, deep-mapping the area. They’ve included and interwoven stories, folklore and intuition into a large-scale full-colour map called: Newhaven Connected: In the footsteps of Ravilious.

Rachael and Robert’s talk ‘Newhaven Connected‘ can be found on the Edgeland Modern YouTube Channel.
