Experts discuss heritage spaces, how they are shaped by the environment and geopolitics, the challenges they face, and ways to map them.
About this Event

Alongside multidisciplinary practitioners in archaeology and geopolitics, we explore the complexities of heritage spaces, examining their environmental conditions and the challenges they face.
This session investigates how these spaces both influence and are shaped by their geopolitical landscapes, as well as the methodologies used to map them.

About AAVS
A glitch, often perceived as an error or disruption, serves as an unanticipated opportunity for insight and growth. Supported by Alserkal Arts Foundation, the AA Visiting School programme in Dubai explores the undefined or the in-between through situated spatial sonic practices that encompass listening, translation, and transcription.
As part of the Climate Cartographies programme, the School’s agenda in Dubai examines the intersection of climate change and heritage, while considering innovative ways of representing these themes in and through the medium of sound.
With a cohort of 20 architects, designers, cultural practitioners and artists, we will collaboratively interact with data, research, artistic practices, and the region’s complex history to develop projects that emerge from a sensitivity to both sound and land.
