The Cultural Heritage Game Jam ran from November 5-21, 2021.

“Cultures throughout history and around the world today have created amazing art, artifacts, traditions, and places that are priceless for their cultural and historical value. But these cultural legacies, which are often the cornerstone of many local and regional identities, are under threat and risk disappearing forever - as recent news has demonstrated. Looting, theft, trafficking, and destruction of art, antiquities, and other cultural objects - collectively identified as “cultural heritage” - benefit international criminal organizations and terrorist groups, and erode the legal art market. The loss of cultural heritage also contributes to the breakdown of a community’s social identity, coexistence, and economic livelihood.”

Participating in the Cultural Heritage Game Jam was an important experience in order to expose myself and others to new cultures, and learn how the climate changes are affecting the preservation of cultural artifacts.
