CUTE – Cultural Heritage at The Edge
The CUTE project (2021-22) addressed the complexities and contradictions inherent in dealing with cultural heritage in seven case studies of peripheral urban areas across Europe. The project was led by Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne and involved partners from the University of Edinburgh, University Complutense Madrid, Alma Mater Studiorum Università di Bologna, Uniwersytet Jagielloński w Krakowie, Helsingin yliopisto/ Helsingfors universitet and KU Leuven.
Edinburgh's case study was Granton in the northern periphery, where the city meets the sea. The project team brought together academics and postgraduate students from Edinburgh College of Art and members of the local community through the local history, arts and community group at Granton Hub. The project was designed to use direct input from the local inhabitants with the stated aim of trying to uncover what the heritage construct is for people from the local community and compare that with the institutionalised construct of official heritage listings and designations.
The project received funding from the Una Europa Seed Funding initiative and, for the Edinburgh case study, an Edinburgh College of Art Knowledge Exchange and Impact Grant.
