SUMMARY:Online seminar: "Mozambique’s conceptions of heritage"
DESCRIPTION:This seminar aims to deepen understanding of Mozambique’s her
 itage through local perspectives. As the country marks 50 years of indepen
 dence from Portuguese colonial rule amid ongoing social and political unre
 st\, the event seeks to rethink dominant colonial frameworks that have lon
 g prioritized monumental architectures and exclusionary narratives of iden
 tity. Instead\, in this symposium\, speakers are invited to illuminate the
  diverse ways Mozambican communities interpret\, value and activate their 
 cultural legacies\, negotiating identity\, belonging and memory across his
 tories marked by rupture and ongoing socio‑political transformation.\\r\
 \nBringing together local and international scholars from a wide range of 
 disciplines\, the seminar offers an interdisciplinary platform for reflect
 ing on the role of heritage in shaping Mozambique’s national identity\, 
 empowering communities\, fostering cultural diversity and supporting peace
 building and sustainable development. By connecting lived local experience
 s with broader theoretical debates\, contributors will situate Mozambican 
 heritage within global discussions on decoloniality\, expand definitions s
 haped by Western epistemologies\, re-examine narratives that have been mar
 ginalized or overlooked and highlight emerging values attributed to Africa
 ’s cultural heritage.\\r\\nRegistration deadline: 13 May 2026
