Organized by the City Council of Figueres and the European Observatory of Memories (EUROM) of the University of Barcelona’s Solidarity Foundation, the First International Conference on Conflict Heritage will take place in the town of Figueres from November 10 to 12, 2023. The event relies on the defenisve heritage of this border town to promote a forum for debate and discussion about the complexities of the conflict heritage.
The term Conflict Heritage covers a whole set of typologies and practices linked to existing spaces both in the territory and in other geographical points at an international level. War spaces of all kinds (battlefields, fortifications, rearguard spaces), spaces of repression and reclusion, spaces linked to colonial or slave violence, or spaces related to genocide and crimes against humanity, are some of the most common examples of this numerous and varied heritage. What models exist for its valuation? How do they relate to society and citizens? Are current dissemination strategies effective? Is there enough research and outreach about it? These are some of the many questions to be raised and debated during the conference.
