Contemporary Art in the Heritage Experience is a two day conference (29-30 July 2019), delivered as a critical part of ‘Mapping Contemporary Art in the Heritage Experience’ (MCAHE). It provides a platform to discuss the broader character of contemporary art in heritage and the impact of such projects on their producers and audiences, sharing knowledge of this practice across the sector for those engaged in, or wishing to develop, this area of practice.
The conference is focused on the key themes of Creation and Encounters, and they are inviting papers, presentations and ‘visual or audio formats’ (such as posters and short films) from artists, curators, heritage professionals, academics, researchers and research students.
