Back to the Future: The Future of Heritage in a Digital Age

Back to the Future: Arts in a Digital Age seeks to examine the impact of the digital age on key aspects of the arts in the past, present, and future. Through four events, we will focus on museum and gallery curatorial practice, archives, the wider heritage industry, and the study of history.

All events will take place at Norwich Castle’s Town Close Auditorium as part of the University’s partnership with the Norfolk Museums Service. Events are free and open to the public, and the first event is next week:

The Future of Heritage in a Digital Age

31 May 2022 | 6:30pm – 8:00pm

Digital platforms provide an opportunity to maximise access to heritage and the collective past, but the process also exposes ethical issues that will be explored in this event.
