Present-centred heritage


Present-centred heritage describes heritage temporalities, with the understanding that heritage has a relationship with the past yet it is experienced and negotiated in the present. A present-centred approach to heritage acknowledges the politics, economics and differential power relations involved in what has beenĀ  designated as heritage from the past and therefore what heritage is deemed worthy of preservation for the future.
