HERITAGE, WOMEN’S LEGACY
Women’s legacyWomen’s legacy – Emakumeen Emaria aspires to become a platform at European level to include gender perspective in the interpretation of our cultural heritage.
Women’s legacy
Aims
Equality
We believe that cultural heritage is a key tool to achieving real gender equality in all spheres of society.
New narrative
We are building a new narrative, one that incorporates women’s contributions to Europe’s common heritage.
White book
We invite you to take part in drafting a White Paper to serve as a guide on how to interpret cultural heritage from a gender perspective.
European reference
We aim to make Women’s Legacy-Emakumeen Emaria a European benchmark in applying the gender perspective to cultural policies.
Cultural Heritage
Thematic hubs
The Women’s Legacy-Emakumeen Emaria team has started work on three cross-cutting aspects for a more inclusive interpretation of our cultural heritage. These initial core issues will be enhanced by the contributions of partner organisations:
Women Storytelling
How to communicate cultural heritage under a gender perspective?
Interpreting heritage is essentially an act of communication. It is an art form that goes beyond the obvious and connects the visiting public to the values of cultural heritage. Today, gendered interpretation raises questions, challenges stereotypical discourses and aims to build a more realistic, fair and enriching narrative.
With a woman´s name
Female personalities who provide inspiration
There are many women of historical, artistic, political and professional significance… They have contributed to Europe’s cultural heritage as creators and patrons, and in every era they have received recognition of their worth. Now we want to design dissemination activities to vindicate their contributions in a wide range of fields so that their names will be a point of reference for future generations.
The socialisation of women's heritage
Female memories
We want to educate, train, transmit, communicate… in short, socialise women’s cultural heritage. To do so, we will highlight the role of museums, libraries and other cultural facilities that promote virtual exhibitions, specific visits, reading sessions, theatrical performances and many other activities in which gender perspective plays a key role.
