New Lanark World Heritage Site to Organize the First-Ever Nonference

Wednesday, November 1, 2023

New Lanark World Heritage Site is preparing to organize the first-ever nonference on the 16 th of November this year, collaborating with UNESCO Refugee Integration through Languages and Arts (RILA) along with the University of Glasgow. 

Bordering on a traditional meeting, the nonference presents rendezvous, interactivity along with entertaining actions for all those who attend. Tourists can anticipate a lively communicating experience, intended to encourage learning and satisfaction. 

The event will find out the gradations of relocation, the antiquity of New Lanark and what it implies to share space with others with the help of a sequence of events, inspirational stories, appealing talks and racial assessments. 

The series will start at 10am with an important dialogue ‘Remembering Atlantic Slavery at New Lanark’ by Dr. Stephen Mullen, a well-known historian from the University of Glasgow. The meeting will check out New Lanark’s past links with Caribbean bondage in the 18th and 19th centuries, emphasizing the subject of ‘shared space’ concerning the white textile community and the black subjugated community. 

The inventiveness has been prepared to increase public awareness regarding traditionally and ethnically important places, equally in their past and present situations, comprehensive creative expressions, place-based knowledge experiences and winning dialogues with those who live and work in these places.
