Critical Heritage - A participatory approach to exhibiting research

Abstract

We are a group of 15 PhD students working on a Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions (ITN) project titled ‘Critical Heritage and the Future of Europe’ (CHEurope). We are proposing a work-in-progress exhibition which will present our current research concerns and findings while critically engaging with different viewpoints on participation and participatory ways of working with heritage. This growing exhibition is being developed through several participatory design (PD) workshops which allow the students to co-create and curate it with the guidance of designers experienced in heritage-related PD.
