Protecting Visual Storytelling: Strategies for Mur

Description

This three-hour online seminar will instruct historic preservation professionals and community stakeholders on the existing tools and potential methods for documenting murals and integrating murals into public history programs. You will delve into both the current tools that exist for the documentation of historic murals as well as innovative programs that can be leveraged for murals that may not fall under traditional historic preservation criteria. 

During the program you will learn about: the existing historic preservation frameworks for murals, include methods for documentation, designation, and protection; local mural programs and ordinances that help to document and fund the maintenance of community murals and recognize key stakeholders, including property owners, artists, and community members; legal frameworks that exist outside of historic preservation that relate to murals and artists’ rights; documentation strategies that utilize innovative technologies, such as 3D visualization and augmented reality, to record and provide interpretive context.
