Talks | ONLINE
Join us for an exploration of our coal mining heritage through sound, words, and pictures, featuring the premiere of a unique piece of electronic music that blends Durham Miners’ Association’s performances of historic colliery band scores with the reverb of Beamish’s drift coal mine.
This is followed by a discussion between Brass Bands England’s Chief Operating Officer Sarah Baumann, Justine Boussard from The Amateur Ancestor, and Julia Rawlins, Senior Expert for ICLEI – Local Governments for Sustainability. Together, they’ll explore how our carbon heritage can shape our response to the climate crisis, informed by conversations with retired miners and their families.
Chaired by Professor Simone Abram, Durham Energy Institute.
Curated by Threads in the Ground.
