Multimedia exhibition resulting from the first edition of a 5-year project for promoting cultural heritage in dialogue, dubbed “HerMap Art Projects”. Organized as annual residencies for artists working between Iran and Europe, the first edition developed seven digital-based projects by 12 artists and collaborators, focusing on the industrial heritage and living archives of Iran. 

In their own way, the projects explore a multifaceted landscape of sound and image that unfold space-time experiences, approaching and contributing to the notions of heritage, be it related to reflections, re-uses and re-activations around the history of Iran’s first cement plant or to the idea of living archives. Specifically, the projects tap into issues like the future of space ownership, the possibilities of a new digital geography, the practices of correspondence and dislocation, or the co-existence of human and non-human perceptions — weaving a plural perspective of intercultural connections.
