  Floods as heritage: the heritage value of floods?

  This workshop will explore the possibilities of considering floods as heritage. Floods are usually considered as destructive forces, but here we wish to focus on their creative aspect. There has been considerable work on the heritage value of rivers, but we want to explore the potential of considering floods themselves as heritage. What is the intellectual and practical potential of making this connection? What are the possible dangers involved? How and why does the process of remembering floods differ in different places and among different people? How can the memory of floods be considered a creative process?
