“Heritage is our legacy from the past, what we live with today, and what we pass on to future generations.” — UNESCO
What we do
The Suffolk Centre for Culture and Heritage supports the development of interdisciplinary creative communities and practices, across Suffolk and beyond. It does this through research and knowledge exchange that explores the value of culture and heritage in all our lives.
This includes, but is not limited to, the following areas:
- Creative Health
- Creative Cultures
- Creative Industries
- Creative Heritage
- Creative Lives
Research in Culture and Heritage is by its nature, interdisciplinary and co-creative. Across the arts and humanities, we study histories and times, places, acts of making, individuals, universalities and communities. Our aim is to co-create and grow new forms of practice, understanding and communications that enhance life, value what we have and shape new, better ways of being.
