Some of the most fertile forms of #research emerge between disciplines.

[Institute of Art and Ideas @IAI_TV]

We tend to think art and science live in separate worlds. But Sheila Atim, Olivier Award–winning actress and star of The Woman King and Bruised, argues that divide is a myth that limits both creativity and scientific innovation.

Atim is both an artist and biomedical scientist and demonstrates that the most powerful art emerges when creativity is treated like a scientific experiment: a process of inquiry, discipline, and risk.

Join her as she makes the case for a new creative method, one where science and art collide to unlock fresh possibilities for the stage, the screen, and the lab.

"Man is an animal suspended in webs of significance..."

For Clifford Geertz, culture is the symbolic web through which people make sense of the world.

A foundational idea for anyone interested in culture, heritage and #intercultural understanding.

⏳ 🇫🇮 In Finland, silence during a conversation is often perfectly comfortable.

To some visitors, it can feel awkward.

Not every silence is waiting to be filled.

💭 What role does silence play in your culture?

El patrimonio cultural también se vive a través de los territorios, las prácticas y las comunidades que lo mantienen vivo.

[UNESCO Montevideo 🏛 @UNESCOmvdo]

🏔️🌎 En el marco del Día de la Pachamama, celebramos a quienes encuentran en la tierra, las montañas y los saberes ancestrales una fuente de identidad, fortaleza y dignidad.

Las Cholitas Escaladoras de Bolivia 🇧🇴 llevaron su historia desde los Andes a todo el mundo. Con sus polleras y trenzas, mujeres indígenas aymaras han conquistado cumbres como el Sajama, el Illimani y el Aconcagua, desafiando el racismo, los estereotipos de género y las barreras que históricamente limitaron su participación en el deporte.

Para ellas, escalar es también reencontrarse con sus raíces y rendir homenaje a sus ancestras y ancestros. Cada cima representa una nueva conquista para las mujeres indígenas y demuestra que la montaña puede ser un espacio de inclusión, igualdad y transformación social.

Desde la UNESCO, junto al programa Fit for Life, reafirmamos nuestro compromiso con el poder del deporte, la diversidad cultural y el liderazgo de las mujeres para construir sociedades más justas.

Como recuerda Lita González, fundadora de las Cholitas Escaladoras: “Escalen sus propias montañas. Nosotras ya demostramos que sí se puede soñar con la cima… y llegar”.

Language is never neutral. It can divide, but it can also create spaces for dialogue, recognition and coexistence.

La violencia suele empezar mucho antes de que ocurra.

A menudo comienza con palabras que deshumanizan, dividen y alimentan el odio.

Elige el respeto, rechaza el odio y promueve el diálogo.

If everyone believes their own perceptions of the world resemble reality, we can’t all be right. So does this mean there is no reality at all?

In this discussion, physicist Avshalom Elitzur and cognitive scientist Lera Boroditsky explore the intersections of science, language, and whether reality and truth are something we can ever reach.

WHEN HERITAGE LIVES: TOWARDS AN EVOLVING UNDERSTANDING OF HERITAGE AUTHENTICITY

Can heritage remain authentic as it changes over time? And who decides what makes it authentic: experts or the communities who keep its traditions and meanings alive?

These questions were at the centre of a side event held in Busan, Republic of Korea during the 48th session of the UNESCO World Heritage Committee, marking the launch of the new publication Heritage Authenticity in Theory and Practice in Africa.

Key reflections:

✅ Heritage authenticity continues to evolve beyond a material-based interpretation towards one that recognises cultural context, community stewardship and living traditions as fundamental attributes of authenticity.

✅ The relationship between tangible and intangible heritage is inseparable. Effective heritage management must acknowledge that monuments, cultural landscapes and historic places derive their significance from the traditions, knowledge systems, rituals and cultural practices that sustain them.

✅ Community-centred heritage governance is essential. Indigenous peoples, traditional custodians, elders and local communities must be recognised as primary rights-holders and active partners in heritage identification, conservation and decision-making.

✅ Outstanding Universal Value should be interpreted through diverse cultural lenses. The continued evolution of the World Heritage Convention requires greater recognition of regional perspectives, ensuring that global heritage frameworks adequately reflect Africa’s heritage philosophies and conservation approaches.

✅ Authenticity is sustained through continuity rather than permanence. In many cultural contexts, periodic renewal, reconstruction and the transmission of traditional knowledge reinforce heritage values and resilience, demonstrating that change can coexist with authenticity.

✅ The integration of culture and nature remains fundamental to sustainable heritage management. Recognising the interconnectedness of people, landscapes and ecosystems strengthens resilience, biodiversity conservation and cultural continuity.

✅ International cooperation remains central to safeguarding humanity’s shared heritage. Partnerships among States Parties, UNESCO, advisory bodies, academic institutions and local communities are indispensable in advancing conservation standards and promoting the effective implementation of the World Heritage Convention.
