Living Heritage Symposium coming up in San Antonio September 5-7

The Living Heritage Symposium is a gathering of cultural heritage experts—from policy-makers to activists—working together to develop best practices for the treatment of cultural heritage, including intangible heritage. It is a solutions-driven event that uses the World Café format so participants may engage with each other to draft action steps for managing living heritage and urban development. This year the symposium will integrate the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals in the discussions.  This looks like a very timely conference in view of the recent publicity about possible demolition of the Showbox Theater in Seattle. The symposium is sponsored by the City of San Antonio Historic Preservation Office. For more information and registration go to: https://www.sanantonio.gov/historic/Programs/Culture/LivingHeritage.
