Memory Palace: What Can We Learn from Intangible Cultural Heritage? Sponsored by Curtins

Can historic buildings be intangible heritage, through the craft of their construction or the memories of their inhabitants?

As the UK consults on building inventories of living heritage, we ask what gets counted, what gets lost, and who decides.

Our speakers approach the topic from design research, writing and the traditional arts.

Speakers
Lynn-Sayers McHattie, Glasgow School of Art
Gabriella Bennett, journalist and author
Steve Byrne, TRACS, Traditional Arts and Culture Scotland
