Contemporary art provids a novel means to interrogate historical evidence, along with the institutions that conserve and curate it. With reference to more nuanced understandings of ‘co-creation’ and ‘cultural capital’, the paper explores the relationships that facilitate art interventions in heritage attractions. It considers two interrelated but distinct domains of co-creation: the varied forms and dynamics of collaborations between host institutions and artists who produce site-responsive pieces; and the agency of visitors who co-produce their own experiences within a creative environment mediated by the artists and other actors external to the heritage institution. Art interventions combine affective and intellectual responses, especially on contentious and sensitive issues, through visual narratives that challenge visitors to draw their own conclusions. Nevertheless, concerns arise over unintended exclusions and tensions that have yet to be resolved
