Outreach

In 2021, the World Heritage Scholarship program at the Decorated Farmhouses of Hälsingland (Sweden) hosted artist Imke Rust from Namibia and Germany, offering a unique residency experience. This initiative aimed to foster cross-cultural dialogue through artistic collaboration, leveraging the site's rich heritage of traditional Swedish farmhouse decoration. The program combined creative practice with scholarly engagement, providing an opportunity for Rust to explore and reinterpret the cultural significance of the site. By integrating contemporary art with historical preservation, the scholarship sought to highlight the enduring relevance of UNESCO World Heritage Sites in global discourse.
