ICOMOS-ICAHM Conference | Universal Access to open air archaeological sites | Xanten, Germany + online | 11-12 August

What if archaeological sites and parks were accessible to as many people as possible? This question seems obvious, but it is not yet in practice, as you may already know through your practice! It is now recognized that everyone should have access to culture, regardless of their social status, cultural background, or mobility possibilities. It is also believed that the process of inclusion brings added value to the institutions that work to implement it. However, for a large part of the population, such as people with disabilities, seniors and young families, it remains extremely difficult to access certain cultural experiences, especially those in open-air archaeological sites, and this all over the world.

The LVR-Archaeological Parc Xanten / LVR-RömerMuseum will host a conference of the ICOMOS/ICAHM working group on accessibility to UNESCO world heritage sites, organized by ArchaeoConcept, from the 11th to the 12th of August 2022. The colloquium will take place in Xanten (Germany) as well as online – with the title “Universal Access to Open-air archaeological sites”. The event is primarily aimed at professionals from the cultural heritage (ICOMOS/ICAHM). However, it is also essential to us that professional audiences from the fields of tourism, nature conservation, and disability participate. The aim is (1) to discuss the definition of handicap and universal access, and the issues of access to archaeological sites and parks, (2) to overview the existing methods for analysing the situation at cultural heritage facilities. Each session, consisting of four presentations of half an hour, will be followed by a group discussion. These first issues will then be pursued by (3) case studies from throughout the world.

Not only have we invited managers of archaeological sites to this conference, but also managers of nature parks and people who work directly with universal accessibility. Among them, we are honoured to welcome people with different disabilities to talk about their experiences as well. We look forward to your presence at the conference in person or by visio.

CONFERENCE / SYMPOSIUM 

ACAHUCH | Park Life Symposium | Heritage and Place in Parkville | University of Melbourne | 4 November | call for abstracts closes 25 July

Park Life considers evolutions in urban and cultural heritage through a focus on a single Melbourne suburb : Parkville.

The values ascribed to streets and landscapes, buildings and places shift over time. Access, interpretation and display have become crucial components in recognising and enacting conservation. The landscape of Quor-nóng/Royal Park has been inhabited by First Peoples for millennia.

Following colonisation, Royal Park was reserved as a public park with neighbourhoods and institutions constructed on its edges. Park Life seeks to interrogate the impact of institutions such as the university, hospitals, a prison, a major park and a zoo, as well as local precincts. Parkville is a suburb of diverse building types surrounding Royal Park, and home to major Melbourne institutions including the symposium host, the University of Melbourne. Parkville has played a pivotal role in Australian understandings of heritage, memory, commemoration, and dwelling.

In 1972, South Parkville was declared Melbourne’s first historic area by the National Trust. This one-day symposium strives to examine how global and national understandings of heritage have been reflected in all parts of Parkville, and what different meanings Parkville has come to take on since that time.

We invite:
•  research on Parkville and its built and natural landscapes
•  social and historical examinations of the life of Parkville
•  critical approaches to the heritage of Parkville

SUB-THEMES
Environment
•  Parkville as Wurundjeri Country
•  Architecture and Planning of Parkville
•  Quor-nóng / Royal Park and Landscapes of Parkville

People
•  Organisations and Individuals shaping Parkville
•  Activism and Engagement from Parkville
•  Parkville in the life of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, Asia-Pacific regions  

Heritage
•  Designating and Conserving Parkville
•  Remembering and Interpreting Parkville
•  Walking and Experiencing Parkville

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
Please submit an abstract of no more than 300 words accompanied by 1 key image, a short bio outlining current professional engagement / research activities and affiliation. Submit your abstract by 25 July 2022 to contact-acahuch@unimelb.edu.au. Successful applicants will be invited to present a 15-minute paper. Applications from early career researchers and PhD students are strongly encouraged.
