Cultural landscape memory artifacts visibilization, a codesign strategy

A participatory design approach successfully engaged senior citizens from Colombia's coffee cultural landscape to create memory artifacts that visualize their experiences as victims of armed conflict, empowering them to assert their rights and claim recognition for the site's UNESCO World Heritage status. This collaborative strategy leveraged local knowledge and storytelling to bridge the gap between community narratives and international heritage designation, offering a model for inclusive cultural preservation in conflict-affected regions.
