New Heritage Approaches

Unsustainable urban change and expansion processes, climate changes, predatory tourism, protected areas downgrading, transnational exodus and the widespread consequential depletion of relations between society and nature, as well as socio-environmental and armed conflicts, bring new challenges to our collective heritage in the 21st century. New heritage approaches should inquire why and for whom the heritage sites are designated, providing meaningful narratives for the users to ensure their preservation. Gender, ethnicity, race and income are key aspects of diversity and inequality in the current geopolitical context to be considered. New heritage approaches should create living and integrated sites in a territorial and urban landscape perspective, articulating nature and culture, considering the tangible and intangible dimensions of heritage, fostering strategies to decolonize the notion of heritage, (re)interpretating its values and attributes through proactive strategies of conservation. Sustainable strategies should congregate the development of heritage education and social participation as instruments to enhance emancipation, citizenship and democratization of decision-making processes. The integration of heritage conservation in territorial planning politics and tools with a broad participatory perspective is also crucial to ensure an appropriate and inclusive heritage management. Join us in seminars, courses, exhibitions and public debates, and help building an integrated heritage conservation approach!
