Abstract
In this paper, we will discuss the new research in heritage activation that expands the urban conservation agenda, taking a more holistic approach by incorporating production of values associated with sites’ local histories and the ways people experience, appropriate as well as redefine its heritage. Combining media and technologies can support social production of heritage by creating ‘infrastructures’ that facilitate cultural production with lasting values (Giaccardi and Palen, 2008). We will consider the examples of crowdsourcing and digital activism as future-making tactics, aimed to enable multiple perspectives, concerning sites’ ability to adapt, absorb, and react to change. Drawing on the bottom-up, participative process of the co-creation of the socially shared knowledge, concerning the cultural heritage of the Gdansk Shipyard (Kosmala and Sebastyanski, 2013), we will explore how the citizen’s engagement in this process, including activism, volunteerism and socially engaged art, contributed to the overall understanding of its neglected sites, vernacular spaces and industrial ruins. We will also reflect on how these bottom up processes might further enhance an overall understanding of challenges facing urban conservation, reducing the effects of major cultural disconnection that threaten urban futures, and thus, contributing to the cultural resilience building.
