Breaking barriers - The Future is Heritage

Jesper de Raad

“You are the future!” is a commonly heard exclamation by cultural heritage policy makers aimed at young people engaged in the heritage field. Organizations like UNESCO and Europa Nostra try hard to involve young professionals in their policy. Likewise, cultural corporations like museums, heritage institutions and cultural policy makers are quite keen to involve youngsters as their audience and as participators. Or so it seems. Young people are seen as the cultural heritage policymakers, museum visitors, employees and investors of the future. But what is the common view of the value of youth participation for young people now? From the 19th of June until the 22th of June, The Future is Heritage Summit took place during the European Year of Cultural Heritage (2018). Young heritage professionals from all over Europe responded to the call for papers on how they viewed cultural heritage and it future in their country and Europe. The entire program of the summit was set up, developed and finalized by these young participants and in Berlin they literally took the stage. With a broad intercultural and European context, the young heritage professionals addressed topics in the cultural heritage sector and with this, they exchanged their thoughts and learned about each other’s history and backgrounds. The Future is Heritage Summit gave young heritage professionals a change to share their thoughts and work. Without premeditation, the summit gave a stage to talk and listen professionally, to create a dialogue. The summit was there to get influenced and changed by what others had to tell. To charge the participant with new energy and to create a network. There were vivid discussions, interesting workshops and inspiring visits to museums and heritage sites in the city of Berlin. It was a tremendous success. In this article, we explore the challenges we and other young heritage professionals experience in starting our careers in the European heritage field. We’ll talk about how and why we organized The Future is Heritage, and how it was shaped through participating with young professionals. Also, we explore community participation in general. For those who didn’t attend The Future is Heritage, we made an overview of our program. We conclude this article by talking about the aftermath of The Future is Heritage and our lessons learned by participating in this extraordinary event.

Academics did not create heritage, but they disciplined it, so to speak, in the late 20 th century. Heritage was already happening in the context of multiculturalism and globalization as " people all over the world … turned to ethnic and cultural identity as a means of mobilizing themselves for the defense of their social and political-economic interests " (Turner, 1993, p. 423). It was also happening via the mechanisms of UNESCO's World Heritage List, which were beginning to operate as early as 1978, and as mass tourism opened up new horizons for that industry. Indeed, cultural heritage was – and is – on the move: heritage is in action. One clear demonstration of this is the " overproduction " of heritage. Whether it is the expansion of the World Heritage List (1,031 inscriptions as of 2015 with no end in sight/sites, if we may be permitted the pun), the proliferation of museums, individual and community heritagizing actions, business sector appropriations of heritage discourse and imagery, the new European Heritage Label, or heritage-justified internal and international ethnic strife—it seems that everything and anything is being declared, contested and/or performed as heritage. Moreover, heritage now travels with a mobile population – temporary, permanent and along a scale between those extremes – and it (re)creates and reconfigures itself in its destinations. Heritage is produced and mobilized by individuals and communities in any number of actions, including remembering, forgetting, generating, adapting and performing. Heritage shapes and reshapes people's sense of place, sense of belonging and cultural identities locally and nationally. Clearly, then, heritage does " work " (Smith, 2006). And as work, cultural heritage is a tool that is deployed broadly in society today. It is at work in indigenous and vernacular communities, in urban development and regeneration schemes, in expressions of community, in acts of memorialization and counteracts of forgetting, in museums and other spaces of representation, in tourism, in the offices of those making public policy and, all too frequently, in conflicts over identity and the goals of those politics of identification. Thus, heritage is not simply an inert " something " to be looked at, passively experienced or a point of entertainment; rather, it is always bringing the past into the present through historical contingency and strategic appropriations, deployments, redeployments, and the creation of connections and reconnections. It implicates how memory is produced, framed, articulated and inscribed upon spaces in a locale, across regions, nationally and, ultimately, transnationally. It enables us to critically engage with contemporary social and political issues of grand import while also being a familiar prop drawn upon to make sense of more mundane processes of negotiating self, place, home and community.

What is the role of cultural heritage in constructing futures? How can a UNESCO Chair provide tools for creative futures thinking and future-making? And how does archaeology relate to that? This interview develops the concept of heritage futures and calls the attention of the “heritage sector” to broad interdisciplinarity and open-minded collaborations with partners outside of academia and industry, among others. Here, Dr. Cornelius Holtorf, archaeologist, Professor of Archaeology, Director of the Graduate School in Contract Archaeology (GRASCA) and UNESCO Chair on Heritage Futures at Linnaeus University talks about his ongoing projects/ideas and comments on the impact of tourism and covid-19 on cultural heritage, heritage futures and future literacy.
