Heritage Management in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) Projects

Heritage management and risk preparedness

• As part of the LAC programme, ICCROM has released a report on the results of a survey we conducted to better understand the state of contemporary art collections across the region, which attracted responses from 114 organizations in 23 countries and territories.
• We held an online congress on risk preparedness in November 2021, in partnership with Mexico's Coordinación Nacional de Conservación del Patrimonio Cultural – Instituto Nacional de Antropología e Historia, to explore the way in which Ibero-American countries are dealing with the risks affecting the region, through systems and mechanisms to reduce existing risks. In this context, a questionnaire has been designed, which aims to survey the risk management actions for cultural heritage that are currently underway in the Ibero-American region, with the objective of identifying the problems, needs and challenges in this area.
