About UNESCO World Heritage Scholarship

The scholarship is aimed for people who have a cultural idea, such as art, music, research etc, related to the UNESCO World Heritage list and are interested to connect the World Heritage site Decorated Farmhouses of Hälsingland with one or more sites around the World in a cultural or artistic way.

The international Residence Scholarship for the World Heritage site Decorated Farmhouses of Hälsingland was established in 2018 by the Regional Assembly in Gävleborg. The artist Paul Wiersbinski from Berlin became the 2024 scholarship holder for his project "The perfect House". The project connected the World Heritage sites Decorated Farmhouses of Hälsingland with the German World Heritage site Berlin Modernism Housing Estates in an artistic film interweaving urban Berlin with rural Hälsingland. The project was inspired by the idea of navigating through a perfect house and making an aesthetic connection to the historical memory.
