↑ Narrative map of Heathrow Heritage (hi-res version)

↑ Photograph from the latest tour

Inspired by a stories of families holidaying in Heathrow airport. I started to think of what else this transport hub could be for. This changed the more I talked to people, a disconnection became apparent. The fringe space was the separation of visitors passing through and local residents that were deeply affected by but rarely in direct contact with goings on inside the fences of the airport.

Heathrow Heritage is a series of excursions run as a cooperation where the activists, historians and residents with the assistance of the airport deacon take stranded passengers for bike tours around the ancient villages under threat from airport expansion. It’s an activity that brings 2 communities together and leaves entertaining and memorable experiences for the passengers and a new form of activism for the protesters.
