Synopsis

The Routledge Handbook of Heritage and Creative Practice interrogates creativity as a tool for a critical engagement with heritage and provides a comprehensive study of ways in which heritage and creative practice intersect, in research and in practice, in a transnational context.

This book introduces researchers, students, creative and heritage practitioners to contemporary practices from a breadth of perspectives. The transnational nature of its scope is key to the interrogation of how 'heritage' and 'creativity' are ever evolving, conceived of differently in different contexts, and intersect in interesting ways through the work of creative practitioners. The volume argues that heritage itself is a creative practice, such that the 'creative' work that occurs in these projects is not singular and distinct. Rather the symbiotic reciprocity between heritage and creativity is intersectional and embedded within best practice. The international array of authors and differing approaches from around the world, including case studies from Africa, Brazil and the Caribbean, Bahrain, China, Hong Kong, Iraq, Japan, and Saudi Arabia, provide a truly global approach to the subject, while the diverse range of topics covered, including urban renewal, the coronavirus pandemic, memorial culture, public art, and colonial heritage, allows readers to gain insight into the richness of practices across a diversity of disciplines and heritage contexts.

This volume offers a significant and new contribution to heritage studies that will be of interest to scholars and students in heritage and museum studies, as well those in the fields of art, architecture, anthropology, design, digital and curatorial studies. It also provides a valuable resource for artists, arts professionals, architects and museums and heritage practitioners.
