“My natives to myself”
Alongside written reports, the colonial apparatus has often been accompanied by ethnographic films—at least since the inception of the medium—assembling a substantial corpus of footage of the people studied. While this documentary material has occasionally been subjected to postcolonial critique, early ethnographic films—particularly those from the pre-1960s period—have remained largely overlooked, despite the critical insights they can offer int…
Digital Approaches to Inclusion and Participation in Cultural Heritage
Understanding the Needs of Institutional Stakeholders in Participatory Cultural Heritage and Social Innovation Projects
This article investigates the current practices and needs of institutional actors operating at the intersection of cultural heritage and social innovation. Through a mixed-methods approach that includes a survey and in-depth interviews, responses have been collected from GLAMs (Galleries, Libraries, Archives, and Museums), social enterprises, public administration, cultural and artistic associations, and educational institutes. A key focus is giv…
Challenges and Paradoxes in Decolonising HCI
The preponderance of Western methods, practices, standards, and classifications in the manner in which new technology-related knowledge is created and globalised has led to calls for more inclusive approaches to design. A decolonisation project is concerned with how researchers might contribute to dismantling and re-envisioning existing power relations, resisting past biases, and balancing Western heavy influences in technology design by foregrou…
Building a bridge
This article explores the needs and expectations of migrant and refugee communities in several European countries in relation to communicating and sharing their intangible cultural heritage (ICH) practices, and of cultural and civic institutions that plan to support this. Based on two empirical studies, we report on the perspectives of cultural institutions, NGOs that are active in cultural work, and representatives of migrant and refugee communi…
A tent, a pigeon house, and a pomegranate tree
An eight-day HCI summer school was run by Kingston University for designing technologies to document intangible culture heritage (ICH) in North-Central Egypt. The school was part of the UK-Egypt institutional link, the Hilali Network, a Newton-Mosharafa project between the City for Scientific Research and Technology Applications (SRTA-City) and Kingston University. The link aimed at advancing HCI education in Egypt by training 18 engineering stud…
The Vincenzo Bellini Garden in Catania
This article is linked to the field of urban anthropology. The aim of my work was to investigate the 'Giardino comunale Vincenzo Bellini' in Catania as a turning point for the civic and cultural life within urban space. The study moved from the idea that 'Giardino Bellini' is not only a central urban space due to its position and history, but also represents a perfect location for reading social dynamics which are crucial in the city life. A 'Vil…
