Center for Heritage Conservation (CHC)

CHC (Center for Heritage Conservation) presents conversations on conservation with practitioners, policy makers, researchers and educators. This Tuesday on 9th June, at 5.30 PM, Jigna Desai and Gauri Bharat will be having a dialogue on 'Whose History? What Heritage?'. Jigna Desai and Gauri Bharat are Associate Professors at CEPT University, Ahmedabad and head the Conservation and History Programs respectively at Faculty of Architecture.

Jigna has authored the book 'Equity in Heritage Conservation' (Routledge, 2019). It takes the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Ahmedabad, India, as the foundational investigation into the ground realities of cultural heritage conservation and its relationship to inhabitants of the city.

Gauri has authored the book 'In Forest, Field and Factory: Adivasi Habitations through Twentieth Century India' (Yoda Press, 2020). Her book uncovers how and why Adivasi dwellings changed, and what it reveals about communities’ relationships with their environments. The book focuses on Santals, one of the largest Adivasi communities in eastern India, who are particularly renowned for precision and craftsmanship in domestic architecture and mural art.’.
