IPinCH team members Kate Hennessy, Sue Rowley and Jordan Wilson recently co-authored a paper (with R. Muntean, A. Antle, B. Matkin, R. Eckersley, P. Tan, and R. Wakkary), entitled "Belongings: A Tangible Interface for Intangible Cultural Heritage.

The paper explores the interactive tabletop interface designed for the cesnam, the city before the city exhibition, which reconnects fragmented collections and physical belongings from cesnam with Musqueam intangible cultural knowledge. 

In June, the group won the Ashgate Publishing Prize for Best Paper Presented at the 2015 Electronic Visualization and the Arts (EVA London, 2015) conference.
