About the Congress:
Between October 16th and 20th, the Biobío Region will host the “IV International and Interdisciplinary Congress on Cultural Heritage: Industrial Heritage, Social Issues, and Challenges for New Governance.”
The event will gather experts, academics, and cultural heritage enthusiasts to establish a governance network for cultural heritage at both regional and international levels and provide training for those involved in related projects, both at the municipal level and within community organizations in the Biobío Region, equipping these stakeholders with new tools and international standards to address the evolving challenges of industrial heritage governance.
Additionally, alongside the congress, the “Ruins Art Festival” will be held, which, besides providing a platform for local creators, will foster appreciation and understanding of the intangible cultural heritage that shapes the identity of Biobío.
The synergy between the congress and the festival will allow for a deep exploration of the intersections between industrial heritage, social issues, and contemporary challenges in governance. Thus, discussions and exhibitions will intertwine to offer a comprehensive experience that underscores the importance of preserving, understanding, and adapting the valuable cultural heritage.
