“…Participatory design and co-creation are concepts that can offer novel possibilities for Cultural Heritage projects. Studies that have been conducted highlight the value of co-creation in democratizing cultural expression and enriching visitor experiences in Cultural Heritage sites (Ch'ng et al 2023;Daga et al 2022;Díaz et al 2018;Echavarria et al 2022;Giglitto et al 2019;Kadastik et al 2023;Pretto et al 2020). Participation is an important element in the design and implementation of the PALIMPSEST project, as it places the public at the center of the creative process.…”

Digital technologies are reshaping traditional static urban typologies, as the museum, urging a rethinking of how Cultural Heritage (CH) is experienced. The work presents the PALIMPSEST Project, an Interreg V-A Greece–Italy funded project, which proposes a dynamic, interactive, participatory, and personalized museum experience in the urban context of Ioannina, Greece, establishing an open-air, immaterial, immersive museum route in the city. The project’s innovative approach involved three methodological stages. In the first stage, a collection of past stories of the city was achieved through transgenerational collaboration of students and older generations. In the second stage, the collected material was organized to create an interactive mobile app, allowing users to access existing and add new stories, fostering bottom-up development. In the last stage, a museum experience was built around interactive installations from selected stories through co-creation processes and dispersed throughout the city’s public space, activated by the visitors via the app. PALIMPSEST established a hybrid, open-air museum route, connecting the ICH with the urban landscape, and creating personalized and unexpected experiences of the city. The project offers a novel way to reconceptualize the museum by integrating digital technologies, arts, storytelling, and active participation, bringing the museum into the open urban space.

The EU H2020 project SPICE (Social cohesion, Participation, and Inclusion through Cultural Engagement) focuses on developing, designing, and implementing new methods and digital tools for citizen curation. This paper delineates several software tools developed within the project, presenting innovative approaches to represent and visualize citizens and communities resulting from their engagement with cultural heritage. Aligned with the central tenets of SPICE –particularly the notions of belonging and the Interpretation Reflection loop– the primary objective is to bolster citizens’ participation and inclusion in fostering social cohesion. This paper describes how the SPICE tools can be utilized to guide the processes of interpretation and reflection on cultural heritage artefacts. The Community Model serves as a pivotal component, enabling the modeling of citizens and communities through the utilization of similarity functions for clustering citizens based on perspectives. The clustering algorithm is intricately crafted to generate coherent communities, iterating until all clusters are interpretable using demographic attributes, centroid-based representations, and similarity attributes. Authors posit that this model holds significant value in comprehending and structuring complex data within cultural heritage contexts. To exemplify our approach, the paper examines different attributes of individual citizens and citizen groups in the GAM (Galleria Civica d’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea) case study. Here, perspectives are delineated based on visitors’ demographic attributes and their emotional responses when engaging with artworks. These perspectives are then visualized using the VISIR tool, facilitating the exploration and revelation of connections between citizens and communities, thereby bridging the realms of citizen space and cultural heritage space.
