James Clifford’s Museums as Contact Zones (1997) serves as a theoretical and practical basis for this approach. Two community-based museum projects were conducted in Finland between 2012 and 2014: a community-based digitisation project with the Gallen-Kallela Museum in Espoo, and a museum installation in the Hakaniemi Market Square in Helsinki to which members of the local community were the major contributors. Both projects demonstrated that it is possible for a community to foster ICH through participation, collaboration, borrowing from museum practices and by the application of emerging digital technologies.}, year = {2016}, journal = {International Journal of Intangible Heritage}, volume = {11}, pages = {161-171}, issn = {19753586 (ISSN)}, url = {https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84994810190&partnerID=40&md5=80b564a514e96ef1c3e2841ac3777a59}, doi = {10.35638/ijih.2016..11.018}, note = {Publisher: National Folk Museum of Korea}, language = {English}, }
