If you are a data management firm dealing with fragmented cultural records — this project developed a strategy to integrate dance into the common European data space for cultural heritage (ECCCH) that improves data accessibility.
Digital Mapping and Policy Tools for Preserving and Promoting European Dance Heritage
Imagine a giant digital library for dance moves and performances that are currently being forgotten. It's like creating a GPS for cultural history, showing where the best dance archives are and how to keep them alive. The goal is to turn these old performances into a digital roadmap that anyone in the world can access.
What needed solving
20th-century dance heritage is invisible and fragmented, leading to a loss of cultural knowledge and a lack of funding for embodied arts.
What was built
A geographical map of dance initiatives and a policy blueprint for sustainable heritage management.
