ABSTRACT
Hall’s 1999 essay, ‘Whose Heritage? Unsettling “The Heritage”, Re-imagining the Post-nation’, called for a reinterpretation of British heritage and our national story to one that is inclusive, globalised, and cosmopolitan. A call that English Heritage and other arts and heritage partners, strove to answer through the commissioning of a project under the Whose Heritage? Research Residency Programme with Culture&, a Black and ethnic minority-led, independent arts and education charity. Presented with permission are two essays that arose from Culture&’s Whose Heritage? Research Residency Programme: ‘Blurring Field-Box Boundaries: Documenting through Community Participation’ ( Malik, 2021 )with Collections Trust and ‘The Transatlantic Slavery Connections of English Heritage Properties: Knowledge Transfer and Country House Reinterpretation, Osborne House’ ( Edem-Jordjie, 2021 ).
