The Living Heritage Platform is a space for sharing and discussion among heritage communities. At WRENCH, we frame heritage communities as groups that experience heritage in a variety of forms, both tangible and intangible. As we see it, heritage is not a datum but the output of cultural, material, and historical processes. A heritage community is upheld by the relationships that embody heritage, built by its members during the processes of heritage-making, unmaking, and becoming.
The Platform offers two instruments:
- The Living Heritage Map, where individuals, communities, professionals, and activists can input data about specific sites or heritage communities, with the objective of creating a visual map of Living Heritage Sites.
- The Living Heritage Hub, where anyone who cares for heritage—whether for work, passion, or legacy—can discuss, debate, and raise questions collectively.
