international
congress
Within the framework of the Nostra et Mundi project, the city of Burgos will host an International Congress from January 21 to 23, 2026, aimed at fostering reflection on the fate of art and cultural memory when these are separated from their original context.
This event will convene renowned experts from both national and international spheres with the purpose of examining the trajectories, transformations, and meanings of artworks and heritage assets that, at some point in their history, were removed from their place of origin.
The congress will revolve around the notion that such objects, beyond their physical displacement, form part of a shared cultural legacy that must be studied and appreciated from diverse perspectives. Key discussions will address the role of displaced heritage in shaping cultural identity, its conservation challenges, and the importance of acknowledging its roots.
The congress will be held in a hybrid format: in-person at the University of Burgos and online via the official congress platform.
