A new research programme dedicated to Heritage Futures<\/a> has been launched at the University of Aarhus in Denmark. As the researchers explain,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

“We are interested in how heritage can shape the present and future. Mostly people think of heritage as something that \u2018has been\u2019, something in the past, but heritage is produced in the present and shapes the future. (…)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

One of the debates that we want to engage is the emerging conversation around Heritage-based Solutions (HbS) to global challenges, like the climate emergency and social and economic inequality. For us, heritage is an important route towards social justice, hence the theme for the first year of the research programme is \u2018Decolonial Futures\u2019 in which we engage with difficult and contested questions of coloniality and its shaping effects in Denmark and more broadly. (…) In the second year we will explore the subject of utopia\/dystopia. (…)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

The emerging debate around Heritage-based Solutions understands heritage as a \u2018solutions archive\u2019 that we can draw on to address contemporary challenges. We are an ingenious species, and we have faced many challenges in the past, including the challenge of rapidly transforming climatic conditions. (…) In this moment of crisis, it makes sense to draw on the archive of heritage to find solutions and inspiration.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
