Parish Maps: Reflecting on the Legacy
Innovation Centre, University of Exeter
Parish Mapping began with the UK-based arts and environmental charity Common Ground in the 1980s but the idea has spread around the world.

What different things do we value from one place to the next? At a time when our ecosystems are being assessed nationally for their ‘capital contribution’ as ‘services’, this exhibition looks at the different ways local values and feelings for a place have been articulated by the people who live there. Monday to Friday, 8.30-5.30pm, until 16 July.
