| Polyxeni Mantzou (Prof. DUTH) and Xenofon Bitsikas (Prof. UoI), our project manager, represented the PALIMPSEST Project in the Biennale of Western Balkans on Wednesday, the 15th of May. In the context of the events of International Museum Day 2019 on “Museums as Culture Nodes: The Future of Tradition” as chosen by the International Council of Museums (ICOM), the Western Balkans Biennale and the “Working Group on Cultural Heritage and Modern Media ” of the Art History Laboratory of the School of Fine Arts of the University of Ioannina, organized a day of talks, workshops and screenings.
The purpose of the action is to connect with the program of the 1st Western Balkans Biennale, which took place in October 2018 in Ioannina, and to further address issues raised then, such as, among others, the digital dimension of cultural heritage and cultural history, the applications of open standards and the value of communities. The action launches a turnover, which aspires to continue with issues related to cultural heritage, in relation to art and technology. The program includes a series of lectures by young people, as well as by renowned scientists, researchers and creators, who come from different fields and seek a re-examination of tradition through modern media. The main goal is to explore new ways of recording and highlighting the cultural heritage, material and intangible, of different communities, but also to reflect on established types, perspectives and methodologies. The Palimpsest team presentation was focused on the transformations that are occurring in the Museum as typology. |
