As cultural heritage becomes increasingly digitised and globally accessible, fundamental questions arise: Who has access? Who controls digital resources? And who bears responsibility for their use and preservation?

Across different programme formats such as panel discussions, workshops, and collaborative projects, Digital Discourses creates space for dialogue between practitioners, researchers, cultural institutions, and communities. It examines both the opportunities and challenges of digitization, from preserving vulnerable knowledge systems to ensuring ethical, inclusive, and community-centred approaches.

A particular emphasis is placed on perspectives from Indonesia and the Global South, where issues of access, infrastructure, and representation are especially relevant. By bringing together diverse voices, the project aims to foster critical reflection and practical exchange on how digital technologies can support the sustainable preservation, documentation, and dissemination of cultural heritage.

Digital Discourses is conceived as a long-term platform that evolves over time, continuously addressing new developments in the digital landscape and their impact on culture, knowledge, and society.
