Expression of Interest | Australian candidate for the ICOMOS Board 2023-2026 Term | closes 19 August

The current Australian representative on the ICOMOS International Board, Peter Phillips, will finish his final term at the General Assembly in 2023. In anticipation of this event, expressions of interest are sought from outstanding individuals to be considered as the Australian candidate nominated by Australia ICOMOS for the 2023 -2026 session of the ICOMOS Board (with future appointments to be considered as appropriate).

The successful candidate will demonstrate the following characteristics:

A proven commitment to the Ethical Principles of ICOMOS and the Burra Charter
A track record of exemplary professional experience and conduct
Experience with ICOMOS at an international level would be beneficial but not required
French language skills would also be beneficial but not essential

If chosen as the Australian candidate the following would be expected prior to the election:

Attendance (preference for in person) at the ICOMOS GA 2022 in Thailand
Preparation of a candidate’s statement in early 2023 in English (Australia ICOMOS will support translation to French and Spanish)

If the candidate were successful at the election, the following commitments would be required as part of the Board appointment:

Attendance at Board meetings (twice yearly in person – once in Paris in March and once around October wherever the annual Advisory Committee meeting is being held – and approximately four further times a year online – note that online meetings take place during office hours in Paris which is late at night in eastern Australia)
Attendance at meetings (usually online) of the Asia-Pacific Regional Group (consisting of ICOMOS representatives from all countries in the region), of Board task teams, and of International working groups if nominated as a Board representative
Attendance at quarterly Australia ICOMOS Executive Committee meetings as an observer, and presentation of an International report at each meeting

In addition, Board members may be asked to represent ICOMOS at in-person international meetings and conferences especially in the Asia-Pacific region, and may also be invited to join the ICOMOS World Heritage Panel, which involves meetings in Paris in November and March, together with preparation of written reviews of nominations prior to the meetings, and may also involve attendance at World Heritage Committee meetings which are usually held in July. Board members elected to a Bureau position (such as Vice-President) would also need to commit to attending Bureau meetings (before each Board meeting and possibly additional meetings) and other Bureau responsibilities.

More information on the duties of Board and Bureau members is available here.

The successful candidate would receive limited financial support from Australia ICOMOS, and mentoring from the outgoing board member Peter Phillips.

Candidates should forward a 200 word EOI and CV to the Australia ICOMOS Secretariat (austicomos@deakin.edu.au) by Friday 19 August 2022.

Note that appointment as the Australian candidate does not guarantee election to the Board, which is subject to the relevant ICOMOS voting procedures.

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 11^th to the 12^{th 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.

Unrealised Sydney | exhibition at the Museum of Sydney | 6 August to 13 November

Guest curated by Australia ICOMOS member Robert Freestone, Professor of Planning at UNSW, Unrealised Sydney explores the genesis of, and community responses to, bold and sometimes misguided design proposals by governments and the private sector for redeveloping some strategic sites in and around the CBD in the second half of the 20th century. Though never realised, these schemes – shown through a range of plans, designs, models, sketches and documentary footage – form a rich part of the story that is Sydney.

Accompanying the exhibition is Realise, an interactive experience developed in collaboration with media producers Junior Major. Visitors modify precincts in Tallawoladah/The Rocks, considering factors such as environmental sustainability, liveability and productivity – then see them brought to life.

Free public talk: Unrealised Sydney: More and before
Museum of Sydney, Architecture & Design series
Wednesday 14 September 2022, 6pm–7.30pm

In this public talk, Professor Freestone will discuss some unbuilt Sydney projects not covered in the exhibition as well as delve back in time to examine schemes for ‘the Sydney that might have been’ that predate World War II. Guests can enjoy exclusive after-hours access to view the Unrealised Sydney exhibition prior to the lecture from 6pm. The talk will run from 6.30pm–7.30pm.

The event is free but registration is essential. Book through: https://my.sydneylivingmuseums.com.au/unrealisedsydneytalk

A New History of the Australian Heritage Movement | book launch and conversation | Robin Boyd Foundation, South Yarra, Melbourne | 24 August, 6.30pm

Chaired by Professor Philip Goad (University of Melbourne), join Sharon Veale (GML Heritage), Maddi Miller (University of Melbourne) and Dr James Lesh (Deakin University) for a discussion panel on urban heritage in twentieth- and twenty-first century Australia.

On the evening, Philip Goad will also launch James Lesh’s new book, Values in Cities: Urban Heritage in Twentieth-Century Australia (Routledge, 2022).

It traces how evolving ideas of value and significance shaped cities and places through key organisations, professions and people.
