Ecomuseum Batana an integrated and innovative model for safeguarding intangible heritage
Tamara Nikolić Đerić, ethnologist

“Who” is Ecomuseum Batana
• In 2004, many years after the construction of the last batana, fully aware that a part of Rovinj historic and cultural heritage would disappear with it, a group of enthusiasts felt obliged to safeguard the batana boat and all its accompanying traditions:
the construction of batana, fishing with batana boats, local dialect, bitinada singing, gastronomy
Fishing
Constructing
Gastronomy
Mission
• Based on knowledge, respect for cultural heritage and dialogue, inclusion, innovation, its interdisciplinary approach and use of multimedia, Ecomuseum Batana evaluates, protects, interprets, presents and communicates tangible and intangible heritage and actively reinforces the cultural identity and uniqueness of Rovinj as a pleasant place to live for all of its residents and as an unique destination for all of its visitors
Implementation of core principles
• House of batana/ central interpratation and documentation centre
• Little Shipyard/ place where batanas are built and repaired
• Rovinj’s Regata of traditional wooden boats with latin lug sail
• Spacio Matika/ old cantin where food, music and old dialect work together offering our senses an authentic experience
Ecomuseum Batana
• Based on the concept of New Museology, Ecomuseum Batana creatively engages different social structures in creating a “space” where intangible heritage/culture is thought, felt and lived
• Following, ecomuseums as cultural organizations almost perfectly meet the needs for sustainable care of intangible heritage
Ecomuseums as social integrators
• Ecomuseums engage large groups of local inhabitants concerned with their cultural heritage
• By safeguarding their own traditions people gain personal satisfaction by socializing and creative expression
