SUMMARY:Transforming through co-creation: participatory heritage practices tackling urban challenges
DESCRIPTION:Cultural heritage practices are no longer exclusive to heritage professionals. Across multiple fields\, the importance and benefits of collaborating with multiple stakeholders are increasingly acknowledged and promoted\, with particular attention to the participation of communities\, groups\, and individuals. Different forms of multi-stakehodlers’ participation in heritage practices have been widely researched worldwide\, highlighting the benefits and challenges of these practices in different contexts\, but also revealing that some forms of participation may not lead to the intended results. Research also argues that empowering participatory heritage practices has transformative power\, thus contributing to more inclusive and equitable societies\, effective management of cultural and natural resources\, and sustainable development of the living environment. Hence\, participatory heritage practices can be key to tackling contemporary urban challenges and building resilient cities in this time of uncertainty. \n\n\nSince its adoption in 2005\, the Convention on the Value of Cultural Heritage for Society has aimed to promote more deliberative democratic processes and to foster the engagement of heritage communities in heritage management for the mutual benefits of heritage\, its governance\, society\, the local economy\, and the environment. Promoting co-creation approaches for a more sustainable\, inclusive\, participatory\, and high-quality living environment is at the root of many contemporary urban agendas (i.e. New European  Bauhaus\, New Urban Agenda\, etc.). Co-creation is a form of collaborative intervention that fosters the participation of relevant stakeholders to achieve common goals. Applied to the heritage field\, it aims at gathering those who convey value to heritage and are affected by its practices\, namely the “heritage community” proposed by the Faro Convention. To explore and address existing needs\, opportunities\, and challenges\, while attending to the ideation\, implementation\, and monitoring of solutions. However\, there is no simple road map for co-creation. The challenges range from engaging politicians and decision-makers to the definition of adequate tailor-made approaches to engage with communities\, groups\, and individuals in different contexts\, and the actual adoption and integration of co-created solutions into urban management practices. Therefore\, how to go beyond participation’s good intentions? What resources are there for local governments who want to make a change? How to sustain more deliberative democratic governance structures? How to implement truly transformative participatory approaches?

SUMMARY:International Conference: Taboo in Cultural Heritage
DESCRIPTION:In the spring and summer of 2020\, a wave of statue defacements and removals spread across the world. As part of the Black Lives Matter protests\, monuments in many countries were labeled as inappropriate due to their relationship with colonial histories and racial injustices. This ‘burdened heritage’ was considered taboo: something that should not have a physical presence in public space. In that same year\, as a direct reaction to the Black Lives Matter protests\, the exhibition Are Jews white? (Jewish Museum\, Amsterdam) tried to break a taboo by discussing color and the question of where Jews find themselves in the identity politics spectrum of Black and White. \nSoon after\, a controversy about the ‘uniqueness’ and ‘comparability’ of the Holocaust arose: ‘Historikerstreit 2.0’ as it was frequently called\, with reference to the debate of the late 1980s. A number of historians pointed to the taboo against challenging the ‘uniqueness’ of the Holocaust by comparing it with colonial violence\, which is also present in the memory of these histories in today’s society (e.g.\, in monuments\, exhibitions\, restitution issues\, debates about apologies and reparations\, etc.). \nTaboo is a subject\, word\, or action that is avoided or forbidden for religious\, social or political reasons. Although there are certain taboos that appear to be virtually universal\, most taboos vary with cultures and times. Objects\, sites\, or practices appropriated as cultural heritage\, can at a later moment in history be redesignated as problematic\, no longer conforming to certain norms and values. Conversely\, (former) taboos can be contested\, eventually triggering the ‘heritagization’ and display of hitherto banned objects and sites. \nUnsurprisingly\, taboo and tabooed issues get less attention in humanities and heritage practices than the canon or the canonized. However\, canon and taboo could be considered two sides of the same coin; they are interdependent. For that reason alone\, it is important to address the subject of taboo as well\, and not turn a blind eye to it. For example\, the canonization of modernist art after World War II went hand in hand with tabooing art produced under National Socialism. Nowadays\, there is a renewed interest at museums in exhibiting these works\, sparking controversy and debate. \nThis international conference aims to reflect on the concept of taboo in relation to cultural heritage in the context of colonialism and national socialism and their reverberations in society. What can the dynamics of taboo convey about today’s globalizing world? How have taboos shaped (and continue to shape) and impacted the process of cultural heritage making? How do taboos generate heritage dissonance (Tunbridge and Ashworth\, 1996)? How does the concept apply to ‘difficult heritage’ (Macdonald\, 2009)? How do/could/should cultural heritage professionals deal with questioning the display\, adjustment or removal of such ‘burdened heritage’\, and is every heritage professional and scholar ‘allowed’ to address every topic? \nConfirmed keynote speakers: \n\nBerber Bevernage (Ghent\, Belgium)\nPumla Gobodo-Madikizela (Stellenbosch\, South Africa)\nSharon Macdonald (Berlin\, Germany)\nMichael Rothberg (Los Angeles\, USA)\n\n

SUMMARY:Museums\, Co-Creation and Making Change
DESCRIPTION:In this study day\, led by leading co-creation consultant Stella Toonen\, you will explore approaches to achieving meaningful co-creation with communities and inspiring community-led change in your museum. This workshop will consider the values that can inform co-creation practices and explore different models for best practice when it comes to listening to community needs and dreams\, sharing power\, embedding democratic decision-making\, and managing open-ended projects that aim to inspire change. \nYou will have a chance to consider how such approaches might change your organisation or practice from within. You’ll also hear about case studies from museums in London\, Manchester and New York and there will be time to build tailored strategies for your own projects and the wider impact that they might be able to make across your museum. \nWorkshop leader Stella Toonen is a specialist in co-creation practices in museums. As a researcher and museum practitioner\, Stella consults internationally about co-creation\, collaborative practice\, community engagement\, constituent museums\, and cultural democracy. Her background is as an exhibition and public programmes producer for museums and the programmes she shapes often feature place-based\, participatory and socially engaged ways of working. \nPower to Communities: Museums\, Co-Creation and Making Change\nStudy Day\, 20 February 2024\, London \nWorkshop leader: Stella Toonen is currently writing up her doctoral research with Tate and King’s College London\, which looks at the potential for community engagement work as a catalyst for organisational change. As part of her PhD research Stella spent three years with the Tate Exchange project at Tate Modern in London\, and also conducted fieldwork at the Whitworth Art Gallery in Manchester and the Queens Museum in New York. In addition\, Stella is Programme Director for Culture Within Newham.
