NEW GA2023: Call for Presentations – Intangible Cultural Heritage Colloquium | Closes 17 April 2023

ICOMOS International Scientific Committee on Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICICH) and the Australia ICOMOS National Scientific Committee on Intangible Cultural Heritage (NSC-ICH) invite abstracts for our joint colloquium on the theme Expressing Diversity: Intangible Cultural Heritage in Urban Public Spaces to be held on Saturday 2 September, 8:30am – 12:30pm as part of the 2023 ICOMOS General Assembly in Sydney. This will be a free event, open to delegates to the General Assembly and the wider heritage community.

The Colloquium will comprise up to 6 short presentations (15 minutes maximum) plus questions and discussions.

The theme: Expressing Diversity: Intangible Cultural Heritage in Urban Public Spaces recognises that urban public spaces may be both shared and contested, typically having many diverse audiences. As cities become more densely population the potential for conflict may increase, with marginalised groups losing out. How can our ICH practice support inclusion and co-existence? What are the risks and the opportunities, and what techniques or tools does our ICH practice offer to urban planners, heritage professionals and communities? Case studies of particular places that highlight broader questions and issues are encouraged.  

Abstracts for the Colloquium need to be submitted to the organising group by Friday 31 March 2023. Your abstract should be no more than 200 words and include your name, affiliation, contact details and the form of your proposed presentation (talk, powerpoint, video). Presentations at the Colloquium will be in English as we will not have any facilities for concurrent interpretation. Visual presentations are strongly encouraged. All presentations will be delivered in person: zoom options are not available. Presentations will be recorded and be available following the colloquium via the NSC-ICH website: https://intangibleculturalheritagensc.wordpress.com/.

Please send your abstract to: nsc.ich@gmail.com by 17 April 2023. We will notify you by 30 April 2023 as to whether your abstract has been accepted for presentation at the Colloquium. For more information about the General Assembly, program and registration, go to: https://icomosga2023.org

GA2023 Side Event | Caring for Country Workshop: Indigenous Voices on Culture, Heritage and the Climate Crisis | 2 September 2023, 8:30am-5pm

Hosted by: Australia ICOMOS and the Australian Museum with support from the Getty Conservation Institute
Time: 8.30am – 5pm
Venue: The Australian Museum, corner of William Street and College Street, Sydney
Cost per delegate*: $80 for GA2023 Registrants, $40 for Students, Young and Emerging Professional Registrants
Inclusions: Morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea is included in the registration

This day-long workshop highlights Indigenous peoples on the frontline of a climate crisis they did not create, which threatens cultural identity and magnifies longstanding issues of territory and appropriation. The workshop will give Indigenous participants a voice, to inform National, regional and international policy and action, and focus attention on cultural impacts and lack of effective action in response to climate change.

*By registering at this event you consent to being filmed. Films of this event may be used for climate change information and education and some film footage may also be incorporated in other films on climate change.

Indicative Program/Itinerary

In the morning we will hear presentations by our two keynote speakers, Maina Talia, from the island of Vaitupu, Tuvalu, and advocate for the people of Tuvalu in the international arena, and Jason Wilson, an Aboriginal man (Murri) and Chair of the Narran Lakes Joint Management Committee. The afternoon program will feature panellists discussing key points on climate change and impacts on Indigenous heritage and country. This will be followed by a breakout session with all participants discussing in groups. Following reporting on findings from the Breakout session, we will fine-tune a resolution to go to GA2023 and a possible statement to governments.

CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS

NEW Call for Abstracts – Change Over Time: An International Journal of Conservation and the Built Environment | Closes 30 April 2023

The journal Change Over Time: An International Journal of Conservation and the Built Environment, published by the University of Pennsylvania Press, invites submissions for: Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage, Guest Editors: Gail Dubrow and Kecia Fong

Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders have been integral to the growth, expansion, and cultural vibrancy of the United States for more than 150 years, and yet their contributions remain largely invisible in the cultural landscapes and built environments of US national heritage. Laborers, innovators, artists, businesspeople, politicians, community leaders, educators, neighbours, and friends, their struggles and accomplishments reflect the enduring contradictions of US policy and society regarding who is an American. Despite their civic commitments and sacrifices, they have long been perceived as perpetual foreigners. This historical bias skews the narrative of the US and obscures its global legacy of colonialism. How do you make a case for preserving a history that, through exclusion, is nearly universally absent? Acknowledging places, sites, and events of AAPI heritage in the built environment is a cultural justice issue and a method of societal repair.

This issue of Change Over Time on “Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage” invites insights from scholarship, professional practice, advocacy, and lived experience to stimulate a more robust public conversation about the future of conserving AAPI heritage in the built environment. We welcome contributions that ask hard questions and point in fresh directions with a goal of accelerating cultural justice. To that end, we seek to include a broad spectrum of AAPI heritage, from sites of celebration and joy to sites of resistance in the struggle for equal rights.

Abstracts of 200-300 words are due 30 April 2023. Notifications and invitations for manuscript development will be sent by late May 2023. Final manuscript submissions will be due November 2023.

Community Heritage Grants 2023 Round – Now Open | New applicants closes 8 May 2023

The Community Heritage Grants (CHG) program supports community-based organisations to identify and care for Australian cultural heritage collections which are publicly accessible, locally held and nationally significant.  

The CHG supports small, local groups with limited funding and staffing resources, who would benefit from access to professional cultural heritage expertise. Grants of up to $20,000 are available to help organisations undertake a three-stage journey to document their collection, identify collection care recommendations and implement practical improvements and enhancements. Non-profit, incorporated organisations – including historical societies, archives, regional museums, public libraries, community groups, multicultural and Indigenous organisations – are encouraged to apply. For more details visit the CHG website.

In the first two stages, organisations work with experienced heritage practitioners to produce reports that; 

  • Explain the meanings and value of their collections (a significance assessment)
  • Outline the condition of their collections and provide a conservation and collection management plan (a preservation needs assessment)

In the third stage, funding is available to:

  • Undertake conservation and collection management activities, as recommended in the preservation needs assessment report. This may include conservation treatment, purchase of collection rehousing and storage materials, environmental control and monitoring equipment, digitisation, or cataloguing or collection management software.

CHG also offers grants for collection management training projects.

Applicants should carefully read the 2023 Community Heritage Grants program guidelines before applying. The guidelines and the application form are available at here.

Churchill Fellowships: Travel the world to pursue your passion | Closes 1 May 2023, 5pm AEST

Would you like to travel overseas for four to eight weeks to explore a topic or issue that you’re passionate about, and come back and share your knowledge for the benefit of Australia? Why not apply for a Churchill Fellowship?

Churchill Fellows have created some of the most well-known innovations, and include Questacon, the Playschool Theme song, and Unit Pricing in Supermarkets, Neighbourhood
watch, just to name a few.

The Churchill Trust was set up in 1965 after the death of Sir Winston Churchill, when the Australian public gave generously in what was one of the country’s largest ever door-knock appeals. Almost six decades ago, on 28 February 1965, the “Churchill Memorial Sunday” doorknock appeal was held across Australia. The doorknock was to raise funds for an unusual type of memorial to Sir Winston. The concept, endorsed by Churchill before he died, was Fellowships, bearing his name, for ordinary people – providing a unique opportunity to travel, learn, and bring knowledge back to their country. Such was the admiration and respect that Australian fighting men and women of World War II held for Churchill, that this became one of the greatest one-day doorknocks in Australian history. Since then, the Winston Churchill Trust has sent more than 4,600 Australians overseas to pursue their passion and bring what they learned back for the benefit of the community.

2023 application round open 1 March 9:00am – 1 May 5.00pm AEST
Would you like to know more? A series of information sessions have been recorded and are available for people to view online here.
Applications for the 2023 Churchill Fellowship round open 1 March for travel commencing in November. To find out more visit www.churchilltrust.com.au
