Topic:
‘Constituents and congregations’: empowering people’s participation in the preservation of Guyana’s cultural heritage
Discarding past ‘top-down’ approaches to preservation begun during the colonial period community stakeholders, or constituents, have begun to assert their right to identify, document and care for aspects of their cultural heritage they deem worthy of preservation. Drawing on examples of the evolution of the approaches – from the government-led preservation of Fort Island in the early 20th century to current initiative involving private efforts to rehabilitate significant sites – the presenter will illustrate the wide arc of the evolution of Guyana’s preservation efforts and initiatives, highlighting the pitfalls and opportunities associated preserving tangible and intangible elements, in view of current global concerns relating to climate change, social and economic inequality, accountability and transparency, and security, for example.
