Workshop on "Cultural Legacy & Heritage Management"

February 28, 2006

Cultural Legacy & Heritage Management

Cultural Legacy in the form of tangible and intangible heritage is

our `Present', a gift to us from the `Past' that has to be carried

forward in the `Future' and that is why it is often said that there

is no `Future' without reference to the `Past'. That legacy is

handed down to us in various forms: monuments, sculptures,

paintings, literature, performing arts, folk traditions, and so on,

which needs to be preserved and managed well for the benefit of our

future generations. Preservation of our cultural legacy is not an

easy task. It calls for a skilled and knowledgeable task force of

professionals from varied fields.

There are various aspects of Heritage Management depending on its

form. Conservation and preservation of tangible forms like

monuments, sculptures, paintings require expertise of artists, art

historians, scientists, and also engineers. However, it is often

experienced that except art historians, experts from other fields

lack the information of this field and its occupational avenues.

Awareness and adequate information of the country's heritage is also

essential for people working in the industries like tourism and

hospitality. Needless to say that even journalists, artists also

benefit if they are well informed about the subject.

It is also observed that such information is usually difficult to

obtain in a concise form. Keeping this in view a two-day workshop

that would prove beneficial to a varied audience is announced by the

Sanskrit Department of Tilak Maharashtra Vidyapeeth on "Cultural

Legacy and Heritage Management".

Dates: 11th and 12th March 2006.
