Living Structures: Stories Along the Passage
Living Structures documents six of Ghana’s lesser-visited forts and the communities around them, and turns that work into two lasting things: a structured database for the forts, and a repeatable way for visitors to engage with their histories.
Project period

Funding
Fully funded by The National Archives (UK) Passage Initiative
