Cultural heritage
Cultural heritage is a term used to describe the tangible and intangible legacies that a culture inherits. Cultural heritage often plays a role in the construction of national and regional identities; its genealogical understanding of culture presupposes a stable lineage. What counts as cultural heritage is therefore easily confused with establishment and if a lively debate around the terms of inclusion or inclusion is missing, it risks to become a tool for sedimenting conventions. In Belgium, cultural heritage is also an administrative term that sets apart cultural production from work being done at museums and archives. It is exactly these borders that DiVersions would like to blur.
Decolonial
Practice of rejecting everything we were taught by the system of racial oppression we were all born in, while attempting to dismantle this system through actions of disobedience

Intersectionality
Intersectionality is a framework developed by black feminists which analyses how interlocking systems of power impact marginalization. It considers oppressions related to for example class, race, sexual orientation, age, disability and gender, not as forces which exist separately from each other but tries to come to terms with the fact that they are complexly entangled. To say that DiVersions is a site for 'decolonial and intersectional practice' means that we try to pay attention to different interfering patterns of inclusion and inclusion that are acting on the digital archive.
