Slow Art, Slow Looking

Greetings!

On 27 October, the Heritage & Slow TourismLAB will be focused on Slow Art and slow looking. 

Speakers include Maggie Freeman, since 2012 Global Coordinator for Slow Art Day. Slow Art Day is a one-day event that has been held in more than 1500 museums and heritage organisations around the world and has inspired many of these to adopt year-round programming focused on slow looking and visitor experience.

Antwerp's Saint Paul's Church has been organising Slow Art Day for the past five years. I am pleased that Armand Storck and his colleagues have agreed to share insights and experiences. 

Marc Kocken, head of sector Heritage & Community at Erfgoed Zeeland in the Netherlands, will be my co-host.

We look forward to welcoming you to the LAB as there is much to discuss. How to apply Slow Art and slow looking to heritage sites? What are critical success factors? Is slow looking the same as mindfulness? Can it be instrumental in the preservation of natural and cultural heritage?

Please note that we will open the LAB at 14:00 CEST. RSVP >

Warm regards,

Karin Elgin-Nijhuis

The Heritage & Slow TourismLAB is a spin-off of the
Heritage, Tourism and Hospitality, International Conference (HTHIC).
In the LAB, an independent think tank, researchers, professionals and policymakers
explore the varying meaning and practices of Slow and Slowness and ways to preserve natural and cultural heritage thanks to and despite tourism.
