The international HeritageDialogues week lasts from 29.07 to 4.08 in small coastal villages near Bodø—Givær and Fleinvær islands, Ljønes, and Skjerstad village. Workshops in the coastal villages are dedicated to the synergies of heritage and heritage communities, vernacular architecture, cultural landscapes, and seascapes in the face of climate change. Several concerts, exhibitions, and art installations will be held dedicated to the resilience and beauty of cultural landscapes. Heritage Dialogues is a cooperation project between Norway and Estonia with the involvement of the Nordic-Baltic region. Coastal Heritage Dialogues Festival week is preceded by the Pite-Sami heritage seminar and field trip on 28.07, check here
During the workshop days, participants share knowledge about heritage communities' heritage values and perspectives. Artists and musicians resonate with the landscapes and histories. The international perspective is given via the Estonian and Nordic-Baltic angle, rights-based approaches and climate justice, holistic community-centred approach to heritage and cultural landscape conservation. International heritage expert participants will work on locally-based solutions for Europe's green transition, focusing on climate justice, buildings, and the resilience of coastal livelihoods. Historical homes and historic cultural landscapes are the core of European identity. The coasts of Europe have been tackling changing climate and severe weather conditions throughout millennia. Following ICOMOS - Europa Nostra Heritage Paper recommendations, HeritageDialogues concentrates on heritage-based climate solutions and climate justice. Artists and musicians resonate with the landscapes and people's values and challenges.
During the open festival days, traditional food made by local people will be served. Public seminars, art events, and concerts will be live-streamed and interactive. Recordings of the events will remain available to the public.
