Heritage Futures
Heritage is not only inherited. It can help us imagine.
Heritage Futures functions as an experimental and creative space where artists, filmmakers, designers, researchers and communities test new public forms of heritage practice, digital presentation and imagination.
The cluster turns difficult heritage questions into participatory formats, installations and stories that invite people to encounter the past differently and shape possible futures together.

Experiment in public.
Heritage Futures gives CIE a space to test creative formats before they become established programmes or resources.
It works with HeritageLab to document experiments, Dhakira to address justice and memory, Ecology Journeys to explore place, and EduHub to translate outcomes into learning.
