e-Culture in the digital Atlas of italian cultural resilience

This paper focuses on the research project MNEMONIC that has explored the transformative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Italian culture and heritage, particularly focusing on the rapid adaptation of cultural practices and spaces to the need of limited in person societal exchanges. It highlights how the crisis prompted innovative cultural behaviours and discusses the introduction digital formats in the Italian framework. It discusses how the MNEMONIC project framed this response as “cultural resilience”, and the creation of the Atlas of Italian Cultural Resilience, a digital platform to collect and share ephemeral cultural and societal responses. The study underscores the importance of digital transformations in shaping future cultural strategies and preparedness for crises.
