I often watch your beautifully made videos, and try to work out what they are about, as I love this period of history, and the crafts which flourished; like hearing your language, and have friends who live in Orebro. But I was defeated by this one, apart from the fact it was water powered. I wonder if you could enlighten me on the subject, what this lovely project is?
Thank you for your kind words! This video is about the mining history of Bergslagen and it's significance for today's society. It tells how can we take care of and display the physical remains of the mining's cultural heritage, which today is threatened by both oblivion and physical exploitation. The Örebro County Museum works to bring forth new knowledge and make visible a new perspective on the history of the part of Örebro County called Bergslagen. The public owns the cultural heritage. And there are many local associations dedicated to caring for, showing and telling about their own cultural and historical places connected to mining. Örebro county museum wants to highlight the knowledge and commitment found in civil society and connect it with new research. Perhaps it can create the conditions for a good and constructive conversation about prioritization and consensus around conservation issues. In the film, representatives from the civil society talk about how they worked to preserve and bring cultural heritage to life in the places where they are active. In addition, lecturers, proffessionals and the county museum's staff are interviewed.
