HERE: Heritage Reflections took place on 30 May 2023 at the Neude Library in Utrecht. This afternoon we reflected on the themes of positionality and community building with various players from the heritage field. Together with the audience, we discussed topics such as awareness of your own position and the importance of context and perspective.
Which paths do you take as a heritage professional? How do you use oral history and community archives as a supplement to collective history? And what are the ethical issues surrounding fundraising?
