The series of photo events «INSTANCES OF HERITAGE» is a program of the Studio of photos of S. I. Shchekotov-Aleksandrov to popularize outstanding cultural heritage objects and UNESCO objects in Russia and in different countries, which involves the participation of a documentary photographer in the work of a large public event «St. Petersburg International Cultural Forum.» The photo program is held regularly, once every 1—2 years, and moves from one district of St. Petersburg to another. Usually photo events (photography evenings, photo exhibitions) are held in libraries. The program is being created with the participation of the Preservation of Cultural Heritage Section; since 2015, 5 events have been carried out: in the Gatchina district of the Leningrad region in the town of Gatchina (2016), in the Petrodvortsovy district in the town of Lomonosov (2017), in the Kurortny district in the town of Zelenogorsk (2018), in the Krasnoselsky district (2019), in Vasileostrovsky district (2020). In November 2021, the new photo exhibition «An Instance of Heritage» was created in the Central District of St. Petersburg for the new St.Petersburg International Cultural Forum.

The exposition of the photo exhibition consists of two sections: «Russian monuments of history and cultural heritage» (3 photo stories) and «Foreign monuments of history and cultural heritage» (2 photo stories).
