This issue collects innovative and critical visual researches on the topic of the call “Europe and Heritages in/from the margins”. These contributions offer different interpretations of the concept of “margin” – a buffer, a liminal landscape, a ribbon, a palimpsest – investigated through the works of artists who analysed this kind of space with new forms of cultural meaning and production.

What role heritage can and should play in addressing social divisions and crises in contemporary Europe is the topic of this issue of the TRACES journal. It has been designed as a dialogue among the scientific coordinators of some of the most recent of the EU's flagship research projects focusing on museums and heritage studies. 

This issue of the TRACES Journal collects different innovative and critical reflections on the theme of contested heritages in Europe, aimed at illustrating and assessing creative and reflexive formats, tools and strategies of heritage transmission with the arts.
