Which Pasts are Valued and Why?

Which pasts are valued and why? How has this changed historically and in what ways is it changing today? What gets to count as heritage and in what broader global and local transformations is this entangled? How can heritage be proactively changed to help address pressing social, political, and environmental problems, including those of decolonization, cultural conflict, and climate crisis? And how do the arts, humanities, and social sciences need to be done differently to comprehend and enable the potential of such transformations? The new lecture series, organized by »inherit. heritage in transformation«, kicks off on October 22nd with an introduction by MoA member Sharon Macdonald and Eva Ehninger, directors of the Käte Hamburger Kolleg.
