Africa24 Conference 2024: Conservation of Built Heritage in Africa

The AFRICA24 conference is an international event focusing on the conservation of built heritage in Africa, held in Mombasa, Kenya, November 25 to 29, 2024.

La conférence AFRICA24 est un événement international axé sur la conservation du patrimoine bâti en Afrique, qui se tiendra au Kenya en novembre 25 en 29, 2024.

Together with individual African ICOMOS expert members, eight ICOMOS international scientific committees and working groups (ICTC, ISCCL, ICICH, ISCES, ISCEAH,OCD-RBA,EPWG, and CIAV) are planning to host an international conference on the conservation of built heritage in Africa in 2024 (Africa24).

The purpose of this event is to:

• Provide support to African local communities and colleagues who work in the fields of vernacular architecture, earthen architecture, cultural landscapes, intangible heritage, cultural tourism, sustainability, and rights-based approach to heritage;

• Encourage new members to join ICOMOS in order to raise awareness of ICOMOS interests and activities related to African cultural heritage;

Agenda 2063 for the Africa of the African Union served as the conference’s inspiration.In keeping with the excellent work that the Africa Union Culture division is still doing, we would like to request a meeting to discuss potential partnership opportunities for the conference, which will be held at Swahili Pot Hub, Mombasa, Kenya from November 25th –29th, 2024.
