Vulnerable heritage

"Vulnerable Heritage" is a radio project by the Education sector of the Strategic Mission Unit (UMST) of the Department for Cultural Heritage of Trento, curated by Lucia Cella. 

It deals with the theme of vulnerability, both material and human, which characterises the contemporary world and with the actions and pre-dispositions that taking on fragility entails in the care and protection of both our cultural heritage and human fragility, affected by the pandemic.

Ten short episodes (available as podcasts), each of which refers to a cultural artifact undergoing restoration. Free and didactic texts will be proposed in each episode with brief testimonies from figures who operate in various sectors of culture.

The podcasts have been made thanks to the voices of Ilaria Andaloro and Fabio Gaccioli, founders of Eleuthera Teatro and authors of the free texts; original music by Maurizio Brugnara, recording and production by Carlo Nardi. The cover image reproduces Alterazione 2020, a paper work by Giuliano Ravazzini.
