This project explores how the layered histories of Leamouth can be reactivated through participatory recollection. Once central to the East India Company, the site's colonial past is largely absent today. By analysing British, Indian, and Chinese sources with sentiment analysis, alongside fieldwork with biometric sensing and interviews, the project creates "a living archive": AR gateways and an online platform where visitors engage with spatialised archives and contribute embodied, multicultural memories.
