“…Arts and health initiatives in communities grew in the late 1980s, using community arts activities to engage people in thinking about their health and to help individuals in disadvantaged areas or contexts [6]. Different artists and researchers have been using artistic practice within projects aimed at enabling researchers to collaborate with young people and communities [7].…”

The project "Through Myself" aims to create an inclusive space in which everyone -whatever level of vision she or he has -can experience creativity through digital technologies and performative arts. To evaluate the potential effectiveness of the idea, research was conducted on existing similar activities. Several interviews were held with people with visual impairments, operators of an association for persons with vision loss, musicians, and dancers. Based on the results of the first phase, an artistic performance was designed. Participants' feedback has validated the project's intent and suggested useful insights for designing an interactive installation for inclusive educational activities. These activities can be proposed in schools or centres dedicated to inclusion as a tool for building awareness about creativity and visual impairments. Furthermore, the project could be implemented by designing an interactive installation or environment based on the data collected.

“…"The imperative to reposition first-hand, individual experience of arts and culture is at the heart of enquiry into cultural value" (Crossick & Kaszynska, 2016, p. 7) attracted the most attention and caused most agitation among the commentators and critics of the Cultural Value Project (see Stern & Seifert, 2016;Farrell, 2016). In particular, a concern was voiced that the "focus on individual experience as a counterweight to the dominance of instrumental case-making can obscure the importance of social and cultural ecology in conditioning that experience" (Stern & Seifert, 2016, p. 279).…”

Exploring Cultural Value

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This chapter introduces the AHRC Cultural Value Project and the ensuing legacy work. It suggests that this work has resulted in the re-positioning of the field of inquiry into cultural value by shifting attention away from policy constructs and towards lived experiences; away from measuring the outcomes of cultural participation and towards understanding the process of engagement. The challenge still remaining is to develop an empirically grounded pragmatist account of cultural value as a form of practice-a situated interface of agents, actions and structures taking place in an institutionalised and materially circumscribed environment. Reconceiving cultural value in these terms will have profound methodological implications, not least the challenge of finding methodologies appropriate to its analysis within the realm of historically and geographically variable relations and structures. It is however a challenge worth taking. The proposed shift, it is suggested, will provide a way of addressing some long-standing 'problems' arising in relation to cultural value: the separation of conditions and consciousness; the overemphasis on the cognitive at the cost of the bodily; the separation between 'the best and the brightest' and the 'everyday' conceptions of culture. The proposed approach may also drive the refinement of flat(ter)-ontology methodologies which neither succumb to methodological individualism nor overemphasise methodological structuralism.

“…Historical artefacts form a huge personal and social construct of identity for people who lived in the precolonial and colonial epochs (24)(25)(26). This cultural capital makes historical artefacts useful to both the public and scholars (25,27). It is argued that the cultural capital of artefacts can only be optimised in their countries of origin (22).…”

Background: The saga of repatriating cultural artefacts continues as western museums face increasing pressure from claimants. Western museums that have been involved in the display of historical artefacts, most of which were acquired during the colonial period, have come under huge criticism. A heated discussion of late has been the legitimacy of retaining artefacts in western museums. This study aimed at investigating the ongoing debate regarding the restitution of artefacts. Objective: To investigate the arguments for and against the repatriation of artefacts in relation to diplomatic exchange, preservation, legitimacy and usefulness. Methods: Records will be searched in electronic databases including the University of Manchester Library for Social Anthropology, Scorpus and Project MUSE. Search terms will include "return of artefacts", “return of historical objects”, “return of cultural objects”, “western museums”, “restitution of artefacts”, “repatriation of artefacts”, “restitution of historical objects”, repatriation of historical objects”, “restitution of cultural objects”, “repatriation of cultural objects”, "material culture", "return of antiquities”, restitution of antiquities” and “repatriation of antiquities”. Coding and analysis will be done in SWIFT-Review. The deductive and inductive approaches will be used in synthesising results. Both tabular and graphical methods will be used to present results. Ethics and Results: This study did not need any ethical approval. Results on study characteristics, quality and risk of bias assessments as well as the synthesis of arguments for and against the restitution of artefacts will be presented. The review results will be reported according to appropriate guidelines and disseminated through publication in a relevant journal and presented to stakeholders where necessary. Conclusions: This review will be based on current protocols for systematic review and qualitative evidence synthesis. The study will be the first review that seeks to pull together claims for and against the return of cultural artefacts. The conclusions that will be drawn and recommendations will provide the basis for further research into the debate and the way forward. This study will also help identify the existing gaps regarding the subject matter.
