Intangible Cultural Heritage

UNESCO mapped a list of “vibrant intangible cultural heritage practices and expressions.” Via the video below, and an interactive list on their website, you can explore how these practices represent a rich cultural diversity.

Using web-semantics and graphic visualization, ‘Dive into Intangible Cultural Heritage’ proposes a broader conceptual and visual navigation through close to 500 elements inscribed on UNESCO’s Lists of the 2003 Convention. It explores the various elements across domains, themes, geography and ecosystems and makes it possible to visualize deep inter-connections among them. You can also browse the elements through listings.
