We use arts for transformation in the area of cultural and natural heritage interpretation. We wish to step out from the well-known practices and find new, engaging ways to generate meaningful dialogue with professionals and the wider public about pressing issues such as the protection or revitalization of our cultural heritage in Hungary and Europe wide, or the climate changes and the importance of our environment. Our highlighted initiative of this field was a Creative Europe project called Journey to the beginnings, that introduced prehistory through the eye of an interdisciplinary collaboration of archaeologists, performing artists and IT developers. The Our Shared Heritage – Vucedol Culture project continues to elaborate this subject with a focus on our shared heritage of the Croatian-Hungarian border region. Our ongoing Creative Europe project MUSE.ar aims to create a platform that will help cultural institutions to work with their collections in an innovative and meaningful way to co-create new digital narratives.
Culture and our cultural heritage are a set of unfinished, imperfect, ever-changing, self-affecting processes. This nature of it makes it attractive for me; it is shaping us every day, and whether intentionally or unintentionally, but we also actively contribute to its formation. PP Cult pillar projects and the people who work in them are active participants in these processes.
