TICCIH – the International Committee for the Conservation of the Industrial Heritage is calling for participants to its 19th congress under the theme “Heritage in action: Legacies of industry in future making” in Kiruna, August 25 – 30, 2025. Interested researchers and practitioners are invited to submit proposals for conference sessions.
THE THEME
The TICCIH 2025 congress focuses on tensions and controversies surrounding industrial heritage and its relation to wider tensions in present day society. It explores how we think about the past and about the future in the present, and how we construct historical narratives to connect the two, attach them to built environments and artefacts, in order to get where we want to go. It is a theme that addresses key global issues connected to the UN sustainability goals, and the goal conflicts emerging between them, but also pathways to bridging tensions through heritage. The theme also includes the issue of how we can work with contemporary industries as heritage and the heritage of the future.
In addition to the overall theme there are ten subthemes, nine thematic and one open.
- Industrial Heritage and Traces of Colonialism
- Heritage in Motion in Time and Space
- Industrial Heritage and a Sustainable Future
- Who’s Heritage – Inclusion or Exclusion?
- Post Industrial Heritage – For Whom?
- Action For a New Generation
- Industrial Heritage in Popular Culture – Dystopias or utopias.
- Heritage at Risk
- AI – Friend or Foe?
- Open Themes
Deadline of call for sessions: September 1, 2024
