"The great challenge of working in the cultural heritage area is to combine conservation with development" Interview with Magdalena Krebs K.

Abstract

She is one of the Chilean professionals with more experience in heritage conservation in Chile. Her work has concentrated in the public sphere, trying to create political and citizen awareness on the importance of preserving history. However, before the current “patrimonializing” wave she is cautious: “it is a tension that countries must know how to solve with wisdom”.
