About the Event

The International Centre for Ethnic Studies is pleased to invite you to a discussion of the book Sustaining Support for Intangible Cultural Heritage

The discussion will feature editor Prof. Shihan de Silva Jayasuriya with contributing author Prof. Bilinda Nandadeva. The event will be chaired by Dr. Hemal Jayasuriya.

Sustaining Support for Intangible Cultural Heritage, which continues the scholarship initially begun at a virtual conference in 2020, seeks to draw attention to the significance and vulnerability of intangible cultural heritage. The articles in this publication advocate for the involvement of regional and global bodies in the preservation of intangible cultural heritage; while noting the cultural and socio-economic obstacles to the preservation of certain traditions and practices. Sustaining Support for Intangible Cultural Heritage emphasizes the need to understand the entwining of tangible and intangible cultural heritage as a prerequisite to their preservation. The book is a call to value ICH and an inspiration for academics, researchers, stakeholders, civil society, cultural practitioners and policymakers to understand the threats to sustaining heritage.
