We have a phenomenal show this fortnight: an interview with the phenom of phenomenology himself, David Milley. Join us as David tells us about his work using various forms of imaging and GIS as a helpful counterbalance to phenomenological theories of landscapes. And it’s not just our theoretical comfort zones we’re stepping out of today, it’s our regional ones, too, because much of David’s work concerns the UNESCO World Heritage Site, Poverty Point.
