Digging up History

18m
As an emerging art historian, Victoria Jenner asks how she can make art and architecture more accessible for everyone. This film documents her journey into the wild exploration of abandoned structures and looks at accessibility in a variety of forms. Whether that be access to derelict buildings that have been reclaimed by nature but by no explicit authority, to the realisation that engaging with historic structures has become an academic preoccupation. Join Victoria as she travels beyond the realms of books and into decaying structures, abandoned and reclaimed by the wilderness.
