The concept of the 20th century Heritage is being challenged in the present age of new intellectual, social, ecological and economical circumstances. What can be labelled as cultural heritage in 20th century? Which objects make valuable contribution to our identity and history? How can public awareness about new forms of cultural heritage be increased? The proposed theme gives an opportunity to discuss the 20th century Heritage from a holistic point of view. Conference sessions will cover the following areas: urban, architectural, fine arts, photographical and audiovisual heritage.
