NEW Lessons in Sustainability from GA2023 

Australia ICOMOS is proud to have delivered a sustainable and responsible General Assembly and Scientific Symposium, with more than 1,800 participants from around the world taking part in more than 150 individual events in Sydney from 31 August to 9 September. 

GA2023 achieved carbon neutral certification, communicating a strong message about the nexus between traditional perceptions of  ‘heritage’ and ‘heritage’ being the totality of what we pass on to future generations. 

Over the course of GA2023 and in the weeks since, many colleagues have asked about the GA2023 sustainability program; including our ‘Sustainability Guide’, our carbon neutral venues, and how the certification was achieved.

Our sustainable General Assembly was managed by Helen Wilson, the GA2023 Sustainability Focal Point, and made possible through the generous support of strategic partners like EarthCheck, one of the world’s leading certification, consulting and advisory groups for sustainable destinations and tourism organisations. 

In this interview, GA2023 Convenor Richard Mackay speaks with EarthCheck founder and CEO Stewart Moore about the importance of sustainable events, and how sustainability and heritage intertwine.

NEW Australia ICOMOS ACT Talk Series  |Memorialising victims and survivors at the sites of Cambodia’s Khmer Rouge Genocide| 5.30 pm 14 December 2023

Between 1975 and 1979 Cambodia suffered under the Khmer Rouge regime resulting in the death of nearly two million people. While there is significant historical and archival research on this period, there have been no archaeological investigations. Archaeology opens a complimentary path to understanding the operation of the Khmer Rouge by examining its material culture. In 2023 our collaborative team conducted the first ever archaeological investigations of the 20th century civil war period at M-13, the first known gaol of the Khmer Rouge before they seized power. A principal instrument of the Khmer Rouge was an internal police force. Based at an abandoned high school known as S-21 or Tuol Sleng, the methods of imprisonment and punishment at this facility were preceded by M-13 in rural Cambodia. Preliminary findings, revealing various structures and artifacts, contest the testimonies of the prison’s convicted gaoler, Kaing Guek Eav, also known as Duch. Archaeological investigations at M-13 aim to support the Cambodian Government’s submission to UNESCO for S-21, the Choeung Ek Killing Fields, and M-13 to be inscribed World Heritage as ‘Cambodian Memorial Sites: From centres of repression to places of reflection and peace’.

Speakers

Hang Nisay is Director of the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. Nisay is a graduate in Archaeology from the Royal University of Fine Arts in Cambodia and has held various roles at the Genocide Museum since 2009. In 2016 Nisay was appointed as the Head of Projects at the Museum and coordinated the education and exhibition programs across Cambodia. Nisay has met many survivors of the Khmer Rouge regime and is dedicated to sharing knowledge about the history of the Khmer Rouge. In February 2020, he was appointed Director of the Museum. In 2023, Nisay led his team to author the first Khmer language monograph on the history of S-21, the notorious Khmer Rouge prison and interrogation centre based at an abandoned high school.

Martin Polkinghorne is an Associate Professor in Archaeology at Flinders University, Adelaide. Martin has been working alongside Cambodian communities, archaeologists, and heritage authorities for nearly 20 years. He completed his PhD at The University of Sydney, focussing on Angkor’s temples and its creators. From 2011-2014 he led an ARC funded project uncovering Southeast Asia’s first known historic bronze foundry. His current research, also funded by the ARC, shifts the narrative of post-Angkor Cambodia from decline to adaptation, shedding light on Cambodia’s Early Modern Period. Since 2019, Martin has provided technical advice on archaeology to the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum.

Please join us for the last talk of this series and for the year. Registration essential: via eventbrite

NEW ICOMOS Panel Series “Expect Unexpected: Floods” Online Meeting 8 & 9 December 2023 at 12:45 Paris time

80-90% of natural disasters documented in the last 10 years were caused by floods, droughts, tropical cyclones, heat waves and severe storms. The frequency and severity of floods are also increasing, and the frequency and severity of extreme precipitation events are expected to increase further due to climate change (WHO).

From Nigeria to Pakistan, floods are devastating communities globally, causing many casualties and damage to cultural heritage structures. Catastrophic weather events like flooding are becoming more frequent and intense because of climate change. Urgent actions are required in Nigeria to mitigate the impact of floods this year. In 2022, floods displaced over 2.4 million people, killed over 660 people and injured more than 2,400 people, according to the information of UN OCHA. Unrelenting monsoon rains across Pakistan, the worst in a decade, resulted in widespread flooding and landslides between June and August 2022 (NDMA).

These water hazards showed us that dynamic planning with a multidisciplinary approach in all stages of Disaster Risk Management on Cultural Heritage, preparation, emergency response, and recovery is crucial for Cultural Heritage and its users. The Panel Series Expect Unexpected aims to share the best practices and lessons learned from the work of the ICOMOS Scientific Committees in their area of expertise for managing disasters.

This Panel Expect Unexpected concerns floods and will bring the experiences about managing the damage starting from the “0. Seconds” of the disaster.

The purpose of these panel series is to meet to share experiences and knowledge to be more prepared for protecting the cultural heritage from future natural events and unexpected human disasters. In particular, the panel focuses on the critical response phase of the emergency for cultural heritage and users.

Games for Collections an Introductory Guide | PhD Research Survey

Members may wish to contribute to this research:

My name is Sophia and I am reaching out as a PhD researcher with the University of South Australia, who is interested in gathering the perspectives of professionals within the Australian collections sector (Galleries, Libraries, Archives, and Museums) on educational games. 

My work revolves around creating an introductory ‘how-to’ guide for educational game development for and by Australian collections institutions, with a strong industry-facing focus. This guide will incorporate considerations of time, technical ability, and cost, and seeks to promote the development of more games for learning within the Australian sector. 

I am currently recruiting participants for a study into professional perspectives on games and their use as educational tools in collections, as well as gathering input on what would be useful to include into said ‘introductory’ guide.  

If you have 5 minutes to spare, and work or volunteer in any capacity at an Australian collection (including in research), please consider contributing your perspectives to this work through the following survey: 

https://unisasurveys.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_3PmQG3LZ81rX1NI

If you would like to know more about my research or how your collection could be involved, I would love to hear from you. Please feel free to contact me through my project website or LinkedIn

If you have specific experience making a game for a museum (it doesn’t have to be educational!) and have time for a short interview, you could also consider contributing to Nellie Seale’s research at the University of Melbourne.
