What is the overlap between arts and heritage, where do the two meet, how do heritage related arts fit in the arts sector, where does contemporary art fit within heritage discourse, ideas and spaces?
Through three days of lectures, panel discussions, seminars, exhibitions, performances and film screening, Innovate Heritage brings together artists, scientists, scholars, cultural and heritage professionals and practitioners to explore relationships and foster dialogue, promote creative approaches to theoretical and practical issues and to enhance collaboration between the arts and heritage.
Innovate Heritage moves from the foundational knowledge base of UNESCO World Heritage into an expanded, tactile, and exploratory stance of the subtexts of heritage in connection to the arts. As a transdisciplinary approach is needed to investigate elements of imagination, innovation, creativity, and processes of constructing cultural identity, the conference addresses meaning and values of arts and heritage, in theory, practice and within our lived environments.
