Summary:
As UNESCO recognises the threat to each culture or location’s intangible cultural heritage, the challenge is to preserve these practices. At the 74th edition of the festival, Mahtab Irani from Parzor Foundation represented India to present the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage of Navroze. Since then, every year, Parzor has been participating in events to showcase one of India’s Intangible Cultural Heritage, Navroze, both within the country and around the world. Today, more than a dozen countries have been added to the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity for Navroze, since they have actively revived this ancient, originally Central Asian tradition. Cama pointed out that the initiative also intends to enhance the relationship between artisitic expressions and cultural traditions that have been recognised by UNESCO as intangible heritage..
