The concept of the 20th century Heritage is being challenged in the
present age of new intellectual, social, ecological and economical
circumstances. What can be labelled as cultural heritage in 20th
century? Which objects make valuable contribution to our identity
and history? How can public awareness about new forms of cultural
heritage be increased? The proposed theme gives an opportunity to
discuss the 20th century Heritage from a holistic point of view.
Conference sessions will cover the following areas: urban,
architectural, fine arts, photographic and audiovisual heritage.
