From October 13th to 15th 2025, the Panorama of Congo project was hosted by the Department of Geography at the University of Manchester. Linda King (IADT) and Oleksandr Lyashchenko (Lusofona) were invited to the University and ran workshops for staff, students and curators, addressing discourses of colonial legacy, media archeology, propaganda and public access to dissonant heritage. Visitors and participants experienced the historical and artistic VR builds from the exhibition ‘Panorama of Congo: Unrolling the Past with Virtual Reality’ (Lisbon, 2024), accompanied by a display of digital prints including the full panorama painting in miniature. During the course of the three days, Linda gave two focused talks: one entitled ‘Panorama of Congo: decolonial approaches to dissonant heritage’, to under-graduate students on the Human Geography programme; and a second, ‘Debunking Colonial Geographies: the Panorama of Congo exposed’, to post-graduate students and staff of the Faculty.
