KONSERVE

“Cultural and social changes brought about by globalization continue to transform societies and more than ever we ask ourselves how we can protect the values of our intangible cultural heritage: Which practices can we use to prevent the divide between urban and rural, whilst transmitting the endemic knowledge? How can we involve local communities in treating and making visible such values employing artistic practices? How can we carry artistic programs to the rural areas by abstaining from the approach of ‘exporting culture’?”

konserve/консерва, focuses on how to render the intangible cultural heritage with inclusion of local rural communities through participative, artistic, and creative methods while aiming to create a sustainable archive of the projects carried out by activists, artists, collectives, and civil society organizations looking for an answer to the foregoing questions in various parts of the world since 2010.
