1. Australia ICOMOS / DOCOMOMO Sydney Talk Series, 3 July

St Vincent’s Redfern: Erasing History
presented by Dr Catherine De Lorenzo

St Vincent’s Roman Catholic Church Group, including the Church, the old presbytery (now Jarjum School), and the old Patrician Bros school then Mercy convent (now the principal site for the Aboriginal Medical Service), is listed on the Local Environmental Plan, number 11348, and was last updated on 14 December 2012. It’s architectural history (Sheerin and Hennessy, 1886, plus 1930s additions) remains modest. It’s cultural history, however, is disproportionately significant to its architectural status, thanks to the fundamental transformations that took place in and around the building from the early 1970s when Ted Kennedy and 2 other priests arrived. Before long, Aboriginal people found themselves welcomed by the new priests, who in turn worked with people like Bob and Sol Bellear, Shirley Smith and Naomi Mayers to encourage the Whitlam government to realise landrights and self-determination via real projects. Supporting black leaders to establish The Block, the AMS, ALS, Black Theatre was complemented by the daily commitment to offering hospitality, friendship and practical support to those in need. When times were tough the church served as home, labour ward and mortuary. Yet its bare floorboards and peeling walls provided a setting for much creativity some of which took the form of temporary and permanent art works. All the artists, whether well-known or not, had a connection of some sort with the community and valued its palpable commitment to social justice, inclusiveness across gender, age and faith, and creativity in and around the ceremonies. Everyone was made welcome, and the place was packed.

Evidence of this history is now under threat. Over the last ten years a succession of deeply conformist priests appointed by archbishop Pell have shown little interest in the church’s history and blocked many activities. Recent maintenance works have seen the heritage fabric compromised, with Australian cedar and kauri pine fittings painted over, chandeliers and strip lighting installed, and a kitchen erected at the back of the church. Now, many of the unique art works installed during the 1970s, such as the Tom Bass altar, mural, trachyte font and tabernacle, are at risk of being removed and replaced.

Catherine will elaborate on this architectural, cultural and interior history and will ask what can be done to forestall the destruction of material evidence of that history, especially as its significance, she believes, reaches beyond the Catholic Church and remains something of a beacon across the nation. Does the church have wider significance than just at a local level?

SPEAKER

Dr Catherine De Lorenzo is an art historian, formerly in Architecture, Built Environment UNSW, now Adjunct A/Professor at COFA, UNSW and Monash. In 2005 she won the Marion Mahony Griffin Prize for her cross-disciplinary strengths. She is a CI on an ARC Linkage project co-examining curated art exhibitions and art history, and is on several editorial boards. She has been associated with the parish since the early 1970s.

Members of the public are welcome!

2. NSW AACAI Archaeological Event –  20 June, Sydney

A State of Belonging? Museums, Archaeology Collections and Heritage Legislation
by Dr Scott Mitchell, (Head, Culture, Conservation and Consulting, Australian Museum)

Where do all the artefacts, soil samples and other materials so painstakingly assembled by archaeologists belong? A few decades ago the answer might have been obvious: in a state government museum such as Sydney’s Australian Museum. Today the relationship between museums and archaeology is not so clear given the “curation crisis” that affects archaeological repositories around the world and competing claims for ownership by Indigenous communities. This paper will look at the changing roles of museums under state and territory Indigenous heritage legislation, and its implications for the new archaeological collection lodgement policy at the Australian Museum.

Date & Time: Friday 20 June, 6.00pm

Venue: Big Dig Centre, 110 Cumberland Street, Sydney

Cost: Students $5, Members $10, Non-Members $15

5. Public lecture on George Fordyce Story, Tasmania

STORY’S STORIES – Doctor of the Black Wars
presented by Nicholas Brodie

George Fordyce Story is a little-known figure on the edge of history, both actually and literally, yet his importance to Tasmanian historiography has been profound. Supposed by some people to have harboured Aborigines from the authorities, he was demonstrably provisioning Roving Parties, the Black Line, and Robinson’s ‘Friendly Mission’ in his role as a government employee. Rather than collecting stories from Aborigines, he was an enthusiastic collector of their bones.

As historical and ethnographic interest in the Tasmanian Aborigines grew in the later nineteenth century, Story was a crucial link in the networks of correspondence and enquiry, collecting information from old settlers. My research into Story’s stories, both lived and told, therefore helps to unpick crucial elements of both the history and historiography of the Tasmanian Aborigines and the ‘Black War’.

Nicholas Brodie studied History and Archaeology at the Australian National University before coming to Tasmania to undertake Doctoral studies, looking at late medieval and early modern England, which he completed in 2010. He has worked at the National Archives of Australia, lectured in History and Aboriginal Studies at the University of Tasmania, and is currently focused on consultancy work and writing.

Date & Time: Thursday 5 June 2014, 1.00 pm. Admission free

Venue: Allport Library, 91 Murray Street, Hobart

RSVP: by 3 June to Allport Library, phone (03) 6165 5584

Admission free

Hosted by the Professional Historians Association (Tasmania) and the Tasmanian Archive and Heritage Office (TAHO).

6. Draft Australian Heritage Strategy released for public consultation – PLEASE GET INVOLVED!

As previously noted, the Minister for the Environment has released the draft Australian Heritage Strategy for public consultation.

The closing date for submissions is 9 June 2014.

I strongly encourage all Australia ICOMOS members to respond to this draft. It is important for the Australian Government to hear from the heritage sector — that we all care passionately about Australia’s heritage. A high number of responses (positive or otherwise) will strengthen the view that heritage matters as an issue.

Members may also care to copy their submissions to the Australia ICOMOS Secretariat, as this will help shape the formal Australia ICOMOS submission.

For further information, visit the Department of the Environment website.

7. Cultural Heritage Centre for Asia and the Pacific (CHCAP) seminar, Melbourne

The next CHCAP seminar at Deakin University will be a presentation by Prof Andrea Witcomb, Deakin University on the topic “Towards a pedagogy of feeling – Understanding how museums create a space for cross-cultural encounters”.

Abstract

In this paper I engage with two developments – a growing understanding that citizenship involves political activity on the part of citizens in the public sphere and that affective relationships are an important aspect of this activity – to engage with the increasing use of affective interpretation strategies within exhibitions. I argue that the use of these strategies can be understood as the beginning of a new moment in museological practice that is concerned not so much with finding ways to become more pluralistic in who is represented within museums but in building opportunities for cross-cultural encounters in ways that question established relationships between self and other. I call this new moment a ‘pedagogy of feeling’, marking it as distinctive from both a ‘pedagogy of walking’ (Bennett 1995), a term used by Tony Bennett to encapsulate the specific exhibition strategies that supported evolutionary narratives, and a ‘pedagogy of listening’ which I suggest marks the moment in which exhibition practices were concerned with finding ways to increase the number of voices found in museum exhibitions as part of a civic program to encourage greater degrees of tolerance. Central to a ‘pedagogy of feeling’ is, I argue, the idea of a ‘terrible gift (Simon 2006) which is enacted through an exhibition syntax that uses a wide variety of affective or sensorial interpretation strategies.

Biography

Andrea Witcomb is Professor of Cultural Heritage and Director of the Cultural Heritage Centre for Asia and the Pacific and Deputy Director of the Alfred Deakin Research Institute at Deakin University, in Melbourne, Australia. She has a long standing research interest in relations between museums and communities and in the use of immersive interpretation strategies, interests that first came to light in her book ReImagining the Museum: Beyond the Mausoleum (Routledge 2003). In her recent work she has combined these interests to focus more closely on the ways in which museums and heritage sites stage cross-cultural encounters. Recent publications deal with the affective power of objects and places and the use of affective forms of interpretation in exhibitions and heritage sites. She is currently leading two projects funded by the Australian Research Council – one on Australia’s collecting sector and its engagement with cultural diversity and changing understandings of citizenship, the other on Australia’s extra-territorial war heritage where she is focusing on the impact of cross-cultural collective memories for how these sites are managed and interpreted.

Date: Wednesday 25 June 2014

Time: 5.30pm

Venue: Meeting Room 3, Deakin Prime, City Campus, 3/550 Bourke Street, Melbourne

DINNER: The seminar will be followed by dinner around 7 p.m. at Bar Humbug. Please RSVP to Yamini Narayanan by email for dinner booking.

11. Economic benefits of UNESCO World Heritage site status – talk, 11 June, Hawke Centre (Uni SA)

UNESCO World Heritage site status
With James Rebanks, UK

Wednesday 11 June, 5.30pm for a 6.00pm start
Allan Scott Auditorium, UniSA City West campus, Hawke Building, 55 North Terrace

Register for this FREE event

What is the socio-economic impact potential of UNESCO World Heritage status?

South Australia’s Mt Lofty Ranges World Heritage bid could invigorate the state’s tourism sector – offering visitors a unique and authentic cultural experience, as well as creating more jobs and boosting the economy.

James Rebanks (UK) examines World Heritage Sites across the world to discover how sites attract economic development. Rebanks’ presentation will highlight what implications his findings might have for the food, wine and tourism economy of the Mount Lofty Ranges.

The lecture will give weight to the Mt Lofty Ranges World Heritage bid, proposed by six South Australian councils. If the bid is successful, up to 150,000 hectares from the Fleurieu Peninsula to the Barossa Valley will be protected and promoted globally for their cultural and agricultural assets.

12. “Trans-Atlantic Dialogues on Cultural Heritage” conference, UK, July 2015 – call for papers

Trans-Atlantic Dialogues on Cultural Heritage: Heritage, Tourism and Traditions
13-16 July 2015
Liverpool, UK

Call for Papers

Trans-Atlantic dialogues on cultural heritage began as early as the voyages of Leif Ericson and Christopher Columbus and continue through the present day. Each side of the Atlantic offers its own geographical and historical specificities expressed and projected through material and immaterial heritage. However, in geopolitical terms and through everyday mobilities, people, objects and ideas flow backward and forward across the ocean, each shaping the heritage of the other, for better or worse, and each shaping the meanings and values that heritage conveys. Where, and in what ways are these trans-Atlantic heritages connected? Where, and in what ways are they not? What can we learn by reflecting on how the different societies and cultures on each side of the Atlantic Ocean produce, consume, mediate, filter, absorb, resist, and experience the heritage of the other?

This conference is brought to you by the Ironbridge International Institute for Cultural Heritage (IIICH), University of Birmingham and the Collaborative for Cultural Heritage Management and Policy (CHAMP), University of Illinois and offers a venue for exploring three critical interactions in this trans-Atlantic dialogue: heritage, tourism and traditions. North America and Europe fashioned two dominant cultural tropes from their powerful and influential intellectual traditions, which have been enacted in Central/South America and Africa, everywhere implicating indigenous cultures. These tropes are contested and linked through historical engagement and contemporary everyday connections. We ask: How do heritages travel? How is trans-Atlantic tourism shaped by heritage? To what extent have traditions crossed and re-crossed the Atlantic? How have heritage and tourism economies emerged based upon flows of peoples and popular imaginaries?

The goal of the conference is to be simultaneously open-ended and provocative. We welcome papers from academics across a wide range of disciplines including anthropology, archaeology, art history, architecture, business, communication, ethnology, heritage studies, history, geography, landscape architecture, literary studies, media studies, museum studies, popular culture, postcolonial studies, sociology, tourism, urban studies, etc. Topics of interest to the conference include, but are not limited to, the following:

• The heritage of trans-Atlantic encounters
• Travelling intangible heritages
• Heritage flows of popular culture
• Re-defining heritage beyond the postcolonial
• The heritage of Atlantic crossings
• World Heritage of the Atlantic periphery
• Rooting and routing heritage
• Community and Nation on display
• Visualising the Trans-Atlantic world

Abstracts of 300 words with full contact details should be sent by email as soon as possible but no later than 15 December 2014.

More information is available at the conference website.

Best wishes,
Conference Convenors:

• Mike Robinson (University of Birmingham)
• Helaine Silverman (University of Illinois)
