Abstract

This TEDx talk discussed how the history of the Ethiopian connection with the city of Bath can shed light on how we live today. The talk addressed three key lessons;

1) You can find sanctity in unexpected places
2) The need for calmness in times of crisis
3) History does not stay in the past

The talk drew upon his previous research in this area, as well as more recent research as Research Fellow for Bristol+Bath Creative R+D Digital Placemaking Pathfinder.
