Tangible Heritage Conservation
Maggi Loubser, 14 September, 2024Maggi Loubser is currently the programme manager of and senior lecturer in the Tangible Heritage Conservation (THC) programme at the University of Pretoria.
The programme was developed in 2016 and is based in the School of Arts, Faculty of Humanities. The dean of the faculty explained the concept of Tangible Heritage as “That which is concrete and can be touched, felt or heard.
It is as much about art, language and literature, as it is about archival manuscripts, ancient artefacts, oral histories, the built environment, the land, the marine environment … all of this has something to tell us about the diversity of our entangled heritage. This diversity is what makes us human”.
