The potential day for the presentation will be either Wednesday 12 or Thursday 13 September, after COB or late afternoon. The time and day will be confirmed once their itinerary is finalised.

5. Cultural Heritage Centre for Asia and the Pacific Seminar, Deakin University (VIC)

Deakin University’s next Cultural Heritage seminar will be held on Wednesday 29 August. Elizabeth Anya-Petrivna will be speaking on ‘Muse/Museal – A Fashion Exhibition and a Grotto’.

The seminar will outline Elizabeth’s post graduate research that is grappling with curating the metaphoric and haptic in exhibitions. Her PhD project is a series of ‘studies’ on the display of fashion and hand-crafted objects. The PhD began as a thesis on the history of artificial flower making in the 19th century, but has transformed into a project based investigation that asks how this history can be told in an exhibition format. This proposal is complicated by three display challenges – atmosphere, touch and movement, asking how the actual physical gesture of making can be interpreted. In this research ‘museal’ is defined as the material restriction of a static display. The PhD has become a unique opportunity for a mid-career curator to work outside the margins, away from museological conventions and institutional protocols to heuristically test possibilities.

Elizabeth Anya-Petrivna is a curator in the Cultural Collections Team of the National Trust of Australia (Victoria), whose responsibilities include the Trust’s outstanding costume collection. Elizabeth has curated a suite of exhibitions at Como House on mid-twentieth century Melbourne fashion and design. This trilogy of shows followed the process of fashion making from the workroom – to the salon – to the magazine. Elizabeth also teaches Fashion Studies with at RMIT. The module ‘The Cabinet of Fashion’ focuses on the historical ‘quotation’ in fashion through object, text and image. She is currently completing her PhD at RMIT University entitled ‘The Lost Workshop’, a project based exploration of the artisanal production of artificial flowers in the nineteenth century.

All welcome. Free of charge.

13. “The Destruction of Heritage in Iraq Since 2003” lecture, Melbourne Museum

Since the invasion of Iraq by coalition forces in 2003, Iraq has endured an extraordinary period of destruction of cultural heritage. This has included the attack on the Iraq National Museum in the very earliest days of the war. Since then, Iraq’s Mesopotamian heritage has also been systematically smuggled out of the country while coalition forces have converted key sites such as the ancient city of Babylon into modern military bases.

This lecture will examine the recent fate of Iraq’s Mesopotamian heritage and discusses the urgent need for appropriate management and protection.
