Nuart Journal launch and drinks reception


For our INTANGIBLE issue, we invited contributors to reflect on the theme of heritage, with a particular focus on intangible cultural heritage (ICH). This is a living
form of heritage that together we constantly recreate in our present. This represents the dynamic, participatory, co-creative dimension of cultural heritage, and encompasses the cultural practices, representations, knowledge, and skills transmitted intergenerationally inside a (sub) cultural system (UNESCO, 2024).

Intangible cultural heritage incorporates the parts of our shared past that are alive in our present – everyday rituals and practices, cultural expressions, shared
memories, stories, and practice-based skills that help to define who we are (Ruggles & Silverman, 2009). This is the kind of heritage that lives in the present, where we
often incorporate elements of older traditions and cultural expressions in our contemporary practices. While this concept is rarely applied to graffiti and unsanctioned art on the streets, it is a potentially fruitful avenue for expanding our interdisciplinary field’s recent interest in heritage (e.g., Merrill, 2014; Nomeikaite, 2022) beyond physical artworks, images, and artefacts – to ensure that our approach to heritage also encompasses the shared subcultural practices, memories, stories, and rituals that sustain these communities of practice.
