Cultural Tourism & Alternative Histories

Since the late 1980s, the National Endowment for the Arts has been funding Cultural Tourism. Current NEA initiatives include Challenge America and Share Your Heritage. As artists continue to explore non-museum venues for site-specific work that can engage various communities, I would suggest that Cultural Tourism is a local, hybrid, sustainable space that should be imaginatively explored. Already, this more pluralistic view of what counts as "Cultural Tourism" has given birth to alternative approaches to telling local stories, or what counts as a history. Links to these initiatives will be posted here.
