About

Future Heritage Lab (FHL) envisions a world where living heritage is a cornerstone for perseverance, coexistence, and creative expression. Through performative preservation, we transform heritage into a dynamic resource for addressing societal challenges while celebrating humanity’s shared aspirations. By integrating heritage into reflections on environmental sustainability, social equity, and cultural innovation, we foster joy, love, and mutual understanding. Our work creates living archives and transcultural exchanges, leveraging art, craft, and technology to nurture pluralism and promote inclusive and ethical approaches to historic preservation. FHL aspires to be a global leader in shaping heritage practices that amplify marginalized voices, build community, and model a hopeful future.

FHL is dedicated to preserving and advancing living heritage as a force for cultural resilience and transcultural exchange. Our participatory and artistic methods ensure that cultural heritage remains vital and relevant, offering artistic projects and design responses rooted in cultural wisdom, environmental consciousness, and technological innovation. Through diverse media—including textiles, architecture, fashion, and public interventions—we create meaningful experiences that connect local and global perspectives. By reimagining heritage as a living, evolving practice, FHL empowers communities to navigate change with agency, creativity, and hope.
