The game of shipyard as heritage activism: creating public knowledge for political action

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter

Abstract

The context of this paper is activism around cultural heritage preservation within the process of the Gdansk Shipyard’s urban regeneration between the years 2000 and 2019. The paper offers a critique of the official, top-down planning process, in particular concerning the method of ‘preservation’ that resulted in the destruction of significant proportion of the shipyard’s relics. The paper also examines the role of artists and activists in rediscovering various aspects of the Gdansk Shipyard’ cultural heritage and raising social and political awareness about its values through initiating and facilitating public dialogue on alternative ways of protecting.
