Can post-disaster recovery projects serve as a framework to prepare for future crises, including armed conflict, where similar audiovisual heritage may be at risk?

This workshop aims to develop a set of best practices for initiating audiovisual heritage recovery projects from outside affected areas, whether impacted by natural disasters or political crises. It proposes a collective reflection based on real case studies, addressing how to effectively design and implement recovery strategies in emergency contexts.
Participants will include both individuals and institutions with direct experience in disaster response, as well as those who have sought to provide support but lacked the necessary tools or frameworks. Through this exchange, the workshop seeks to bridge the gap between intention and effective action.

Drawing on our experience with the project ¡NO LAS TIRES!, focused on the recovery of home movies after the 2026 floods in Valencia, we identified key challenges in responding to dispersed, privately held audiovisual heritage. This type of material—non-institutional, fragile, and deeply embedded in personal memory—requires specific methodologies and coordination strategies.

The workshop will adopt a hands-on format, using real problems encountered during the project to explore context-sensitive solutions. Participants will work through scenarios shaped by different sociopolitical and administrative conditions.

By extending existing disaster preparedness frameworks beyond institutional settings, this proposal emphasizes the need to equip both affected communities and external actors with practical tools for collaboration. These insights may also inform responses to other crises, including those arising from armed conflict.
