According to AMO, 11% of earth’s surface is under some kind of protection law, regulating human intervention. The City of Ahmedabad advertise itself as yet another city striving to become a “heritage city”, implementing various restrictions on how to mediate and intervene in the old city fabric. Gustav Mahler wrote – “tradition is not the worship of ashes, but the preservation of fire”. From that point of view it is quite paradoxical how much effort we put into preserving objects and land masses, instead of the so called, intangible heritages, such as: rites, crafts, oral traditions, knowledges, performances etc. Michelle Foucault describes history as “…an archive constantly rearranging its hierarchy”. In the air of him and Mahler, I am suggesting a “fora” for intangible heritages, a complement to the ordinary museum. The idea is that the building will host two groups, conducting some kind of intangible heritage, at the time, encouraging them to refine their own craft but also hoping for a cross-fertilized product that could be of relevance today. Each group will be hosted for approximate six months, then the spaces will be rearranged in order to fit the new practices that replace the former.
