Join us for a captivating TEDxMarvila talk with Ines Feliciano, who explores the profound connection between cultural heritage and personal identity. This insightful presentation focuses on the iconic Portuguese Azulejos, illustrating how these ancient ceramic tiles reflect broader human values and identities. Ines shares her experiences from over two decades in objects conservation, including the fascinating restoration of a Middle Bronze Age Harappan Vase. She discusses how heritage items, whether from museums or family collections, hold powerful narratives that shape our understanding of who we are. Learn about the unique role of Azulejos in expressing societal values and individual identities, and how heritage objects serve as tools for continuous learning and emotional connection. Ines will inspire you to consider the objects you would choose to represent your own identity in a personal museum and how they might impact others to become better humans in the future. ✨ Inspired by the talk?
