Intangible Heritage
We will explore the positioning of museums with Egyptian and Sudanese collections as dynamic entities capable of safeguarding intangible heritage in an ever-evolving global landscape. In the face of rapid transformations driven by technological progress, shifting demographics, migration flux, mutations in social patterns, and environmental changes, the safeguarding of intangible heritage is of significant concern worldwide. We will discuss continuity and revitalisation of intangible heritage, the preservation of intangible heritage and how to safeguard the ancient Egyptian and Sudanese collective cultural legacy for both today and tomorrow.
