The Heritage Futures team is also hosting a Nature/Culture workshop that is structured as a ‘heritage surgery’ where the audience will be prompted with provocations that are meant to critically engage with issues surrounding the intersections of nature and culture in the field, creative approaches, and heritage-making for the future.
