About the Suffolk Centre for Culture and Heritage

The Centre aims to create an environment for living heritage, where stories, traditions, and creative practices converge—rooted in a creative county, championed by innovative educators, practitioners, researchers and students, and enriched by our communities and partnerships. 

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.    

Cultural Heritage is embedded in all human activities. Through events, activities, places and people, research and methodologies, we can produce tangible representations of our value systems, beliefs, traditions and lifestyles, in sustainable ways which better our lives and the lives of the future.
