Conference: "Transmitting Contentious Cultural Heritages with the Arts" | Italy
![](/asemus-files/traces-final-conference.png)
Background
Through an innovative research methodology, TRACES has investigated the challenges and opportunities raised when transmitting complex pasts and the role of difficult heritage in contemporary Europe.
To this end, the project, funded by the European Commission's Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme, has involved a multi-disciplinary team made up of established and emerging scholars, artists, and cultural workers to develop a rigorous, creative and all-round investigation on contentious cultural heritages, and to experiment with innovative research methodologies.
In order to achieve these objectives, TRACES has initiated a series of “creative co-productions” in which artists, researchers, heritage agencies, and stakeholders collaborate on long-term projects researching selected cases of contentious heritage and developing new participatory public interfaces. Theoretical investigations pertaining to different research fields and disciplines have supported and complemented these art-based research actions, analysing and expanding their outcomes with the aim to identify new directions for cultural institutions and museums to effectively transmit contentious cultural heritage and contribute to evolving European identities.
