About Hacking Heritage

Hacking Heritage is a participant-led unconference for scholars, students, designers, artists, professionals and anyone else with an interest in cultural heritage, preservation and public history. It is an opportunity to discuss and debate issues related to cultural heritage; to design and prototype experimental heritage programs and interventions that reach new audiences; and to make new connections with the humanities scholars, preservation and community advocates, museum professionals, tactical urbanists and public artists who are at the forefront of rethinking cultural heritage and preservation programs for the 21st century. Never been to an unconference before? All of the sessions are proposed and led by participants, but you do NOT have to lead a session in order to attend! Join us – it will be fun.
