Time, Culture and Identity: the co-creation of historical research and co-development of visitor experience in China and the UK
Project disclaimer
Description
‘Time, Culture and Identity’ will explore how education, social inclusion and creativity in China can be enhanced through creative and commercial collaboration between cultural partners and businesses in the UK and China. It is designed to support inclusive economic growth in China by employing the strength of the UK’s creative and heritage sectors to collaborate with Chinese museum experts, creative economy SMEs and researchers to build capacity and confidence in public engagement, building science capital amongst Chinese citizens. It will bring UK experience in the creative economy and cultural heritage to address stated development challenges in China, using a co-creation methodology that delivers to the UNDP definition of capacity building. Collections from Beijing's Palace Museum will be brought to life for audiences across China and around the world via new digital experiences, co-designed by Chinese and UK creative businesses. By stimulating knowledge exchange and brokering commercial relationships between the UK and China, the project will develop methods for cross-cultural approaches to connecting audiences with their scientific heritage. Both the China and the UK see Creative Industries as central to future economic growth, for social and cultural development and for the transition from a manufacturing to a knowledge-based economy. The project will support sustainable development in China through the Ministry of Culture's creative industry development plan (2016-2020). By creating links between industry and cultural sector partners in China and the UK to co-develop prototype digital heritage experiences, we will foster skill-sharing and develop an increased understanding of how audiences engage with the heritage of science and technology.
