metaculture

METACULTURE. CULTURAL HERITAGE.

The project will outline our non verbal interactions as fundamental heritage, one that doesn’t have to be preserved for its nature is not immobile, it has to be fostered in its plurality and emergence, avoiding its erause thorugh the dissemination of homogenized patterns, and the capture of emergnce in niches. The project will redefine cultural heritage and immaterial heritage as always corporeal, material and in motion, where the challenge is not to fix it and preserve it, but to foster openended ecologies where plurality can flourish.
