Anna's PhD collaborates with NatureScot to research how visual practices mediate relations with Scottish landscapes. The research examines how the visual culture of environmental governance produces imaginaries about Scottish nature which shape people’s relationships to local landscapes. Across several case studies on local landscape monitoring projects, the research uses participatory methods from visual anthropology to investigate how screen-based art and media foster affective attachments and environmental belonging to landscapes. Through its organisational partnership, the research explores how these collaborative visual practices might inform narratives and visualisations of more-than-human relations in Scottish environmental policy and governance.
