This symposium forms part of ‘Water, Mills and Marshes: The Broads Landscape Partnership,’ an ambitious regional programme encompassing 38 projects across 55 partner institutions. One of the projects, Mapping the Broads, involved three outstanding illustrators, all lecturers at Norwich University of the Arts on BA (Hons) Illustration, who produced work over a three-year period that responded to their experience of the landscape and working with communities that live in the area. This work was exhibited at the EAST Gallery NUA early in 2020.
