Why Innovate Heritage
Within the context of our rich global community, it is critical that we honor the role of living heritage and creativity as well as the legacies and heritage of our ancestors. They both play roles in the construction of culture, the soon to be past, as well as our futures. This confluence allows us to reflect on elemental truths of our humanity.
Elliat Graney-Saucke, Co-Founder/Director
Innovate Heritage is the meeting place of inquiry around where creativity and the past meets the future. It is a necessary discourse in bringing contemporary arts and heritage studies together.
Caterina Benincasa, Co-Founder/Director
