Dialogues on tangible and intangible heritage and art: bridging past and future.
A word from the programming committee
For our fourth edition, we fostered exchange and collective reflection on the promotion of heritage within non-Indigenous museum and conservation institutions. Discussions on repatriation, relationships with museums, and the promotion of heritage aim to strengthen the affirmation of Indigenous cultures and to redefine the role of communities, organizations, and artists in preserving their heritage.
The Gathering is a space to highlight new forms of cultural and artistic expression, as well as to recognize the efforts that help showcase heritage not merely as a legacy of the past, but as a living and essential element of contemporary identity.
