INTACH Hooghly Chapter invites you to an International Webinar on "Domestic Heritages: Memories & Mirco-narratives" in collaboration with Indian Museum, Kolkata, Ministry of Culture, Government of India, and supported by INTACH WB & Calcutta Regional Chapter, to be held on August 8 & 9, 2020 (4:00 - 7:00 pm, IST).

 CONCEPT NOTE (Brief):
This webinar proposes to critically engage with domestic space which is a site where domestic past is an unconscious chequered representation of domestic present. Individuals and families, voluntarily or involuntarily, act as agents of transmission of heritage through possession of material artefacts of the family, rituals, beliefs and the traces of memory. This webinar aims to graph ‘domestic heritage’ by focusing on the micro-narratives of individual and their shared collective memories within the parameter of private domestic spaces.

WHAT TO RECORD?:
One can identify any object present within the domestic space, obtained through inheritance over generations, which they contemplate having a value, memory or attachment to the respective family history. If the entity is tangible, e.g. costume, architectural patterns etc, document it through photographs and add information about it. In case of intangible entity, e.g. rituals, stories, songs, incidents, beliefs, cuisines, etc. one may perform, narrate or prepare it as authentically as possible based on recollection or memory.
