Memory Landscapes

Memory landscapes refer to the shared mental representations of places, events, and experiences within a community or culture. They encompass how groups remember and interpret their history, impacting identity and values. This collective memory can manifest in physical spaces—like monuments or memorial sites—as well as in stories, traditions, and historical narratives. By shaping our understanding of the past, memory landscapes influence how communities connect with each other and how they engage with their collective identity, impacting current and future generations.
