First Thursday of each month at 6 p.m. at La Llotgeta, Fundació Mediterrani (Plaza del Mercat 4, 46001, Valencia).
See attached program of conferences.
Caring for heritage involves not only preserving but above all ILLUMINATING that memory, clarifying the understanding of those meanings and, in doing so, reinforcing the culture they support. Herein lies the ultimate purpose of all restoration.
This conference-tertulia aims to promote the dissemination and enhancement of heritage conservation and restoration actions being carried out by researchers at the University Institute of Heritage Restoration (IRP) of the UPV, as well as to open a forum of reflection around them with the public. The IRP is made up of interdisciplinary teams of research personnel who work mainly in the conservation, restoration and dissemination of the historical and artistic heritage of the Valencian Community.
It is a cultural proposal that combines Art, Science, Technology and Society, since it proposes the realization of a series of workshops in a cultural space of the center of Valencia “La Llotgeta” with monthly periodicity (first Thursday of each month) and open doors to the citizenship to inform and reflect together the different actions of restoration and conservation of the Valencian cultural heritage.
The general objective is on the one hand to bring the IRP to the public and on the other hand to bring the public to the IRP. Showing and valuing the interdisciplinary work that is carried out in the IRP through the fusion of disciplines such as art, restoration and conservation, architecture, engineering, chemistry, biology…
There will be a monthly session that will start at 18.00 h in which there will be two lectures of about 20 minutes, accompanied by a space for reflection with the public. The sessions can be followed in streaming on the IRP’s YOUTUBE channel ( https://www.youtube.com/@irpupv/streams).
LLOC: La Llotgeta, Fundació Mediterrani, Plaza del Mercat, 4, 46001 -València (in front of the main entrance of the Mercat Central). An aperitif will be served at the end of the conference.
