This course investigates the integration of cultural heritage and digital conservation, specifically with regard to the objects, deities, and sites of China. Through reflections on Chinese cultural heritage from global perspectives on Chinese history, the course raises awareness of heritage conservation and critical heritage studies, focusing on the origins and transformations of China in the contemporary era. Academic readings and oral presentations centred on the theme lectures enhance students’ understanding of documentation and restoration through innovative digital techniques; Conservator presentations, field trips, gallery visits, and art projects enable students to communicate with practitioners in the field and examine the values of cultural heritage from a global perspective.
