Descrizione del progetto
Il patrimonio culturale per un domani più verde
Per petroculture si intendono società e culture profondamente intrecciate con l’estrazione, la produzione e il consumo di combustibili fossili, in particolare il petrolio. La comprensione di tali culture è fondamentale per coinvolgere i cittadini e promuovere cambiamenti nei comportamenti e nei punti di vista che siano in grado di innescare trasformazioni a livello ambientale. Il progetto PITCH, finanziato dall’UE, analizza il modo in cui il patrimonio culturale si interseca con le petroculture e gli impatti da esse esercitati sulle società. Il patrimonio culturale, sotto forma di oggetti, siti o paesaggi, può essere mobilitato in modo diretto al fine di immaginare futuri sostenibili alternativi. Attraverso interventi pilota in collaborazione con gli istituti di tutela del patrimonio culturale e un kit di strumenti completo, PITCH fornisce agli operatori del patrimonio e ai responsabili politici gli strumenti volti ad affrontare con sicurezza le transizioni verdi, assicurando di lasciare un’impronta duratura sul variegato paesaggio europeo.
Obiettivo
Petroculture’s Intersections with The Cultural Heritage sector in the context of green transitions (PITCH) brings together academic and cultural sector organisation partners in six countries to spur on the processes by which humanities and arts scholarship and public interventions can strengthen citizen engagement with the constantly changing nature of cultural heritage and its relationship to past and present petrocultures. Our innovative and significant multi-site pilot events will provide a model for employing cultural heritage to creatively engage citizens to spur on environmentally-transformative shifts in both individual and collective organisational/institutional behaviours. We will provide heritage practitioners and policymakers with the tools to repurpose existing and future forms of heritage to facilitate just green transitions.
PITCH will create a deeper understanding of petroculture’s intersections with heritage practices and how this reflects social, economic, and political changes over time through our historical and analytical work in archives and collections and map the secondary literature on the intersections between petrocultures and heritage cultures. We will conduct pilot interventions at three different types of sites (museums, industrial heritage sites, and heritage landscapes) with four cultural heritage partners to help citizens understand how petrocultures have affected their lives and be confident about how they might envision those lives otherwise. In order to ensure the long-lasting impact of the pilot interventions, we will collaborate with key international and European policy-making and practitioner organisations to help citizens face current and future societal transformations with greater confidence. We will develop policy briefings and digital toolkit to ensure the recommended methods are effective across the cultural, geographic, political and socio-economic diversity of Europe.
