4. Support the mobile app CmyView

CmyView is about developing new creative methods for capturing the social value of places. Using a mobile app, CmyView will turn everyday kinds of participation, such as photography and walking, into evidence that has the ability to influence actions from government and corporate interests on the future of places that really matter to people.

I am looking for your support to raise $6000 to develop the methodology, test and evaluate relevant features from existing apps, and develop a ‘proof of concept’ (digital mock-up of the user interface) of the mobile technology.

Would you be able to help me get this project of the ground? Are you able to make a pledge and share the project with your family, friends and organisations?

Thanking you in advance for your support,
Cristina

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.

9. 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!

10. Australia ICOMOS 2015 conference – call for working group participants

Australia ICOMOS 2015 Conference
FABRIC – The threads of conservation:
Best practice conservation philosophy, heritage management and skills training in Australia and beyond
5-8 November 2015, Adelaide

We want you! The 2015 ICOMOS Conference Co-convenors are seeking expressions of interest from members to be a part of the proposed ‘content’ and ‘organisation’ working groups for the conference. The conference theme, ‘Fabric’, will focus on:

• the diversity of approaches to conservation of fabric, landscape and archaeology
• traditional skills, technological innovation, practical training and recording in the conservation of cultural fabric and archaeology
• community approaches in the recording, management and interpretation of the tangible and intangible values of places, sites, objects and cultural landscapes

We propose to establish two working groups to assist in developing and running the conference:

• the ‘content group’ will develop the themes, assist with sourcing speakers, co-ordinate papers and sessional speakers and help structure trade/ materials workshops. Members do not necessarily need to be based in Adelaide to contribute.
• the ‘organising group’ will arrange the running of the conference, location of trades workshops, social events and tours. Adelaide based members are preferred for this group.

If you are interested in assisting with the conference, please email Michael Queale by Tuesday 17 June, noting your preferred committee and also interest area.

11. 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

15. 2nd International Conference of Heritage Conservation and Site Management, Germany, October 2014 – call for papers

PAST IMPERFECT
Communicating the Fragment and the Incomplete: Archaeological Sites, Ruins, Landscapes of Memory
Berlin & Cottbus, Germany
15 – 17 October 2014

CALL FOR PAPERS & POSTERS

Awareness and support for heritage sites depend upon the level of knowledge that people have about their significance. However, some sites do not lend themselves easily to being understood by an observer. Ruins and archaeological sites, for example, require special efforts to be interpreted for visitors due to their incomplete and damaged state. Equally challenging are landscapes of memory, i.e. places where important events occurred, but few material remains are left behind as testimonies thereof. For all three categories, it falls to heritage professionals to develop interpretation and presentation strategies in order to allow for a thorough visitor experience and accessibility of meaning to a wider audience. Such strategies include a wide variety of options, including visualisation and site design.

Application Process – download the PAST IMPERFECT – Call for Papers_HCSM 2014 for more information

• Deadline for submissions: 15 July 2014

Proposals will be reviewed by a scientific committee. Authors whose submissions are selected will be informed by 31 July 2014. Please note that costs for travel and accommodation cannot be covered by the conference organisers. Participation in the conference is free of charge.

22. Saving Energy in Historic Buildings conference, Madrid, September 2014

The Conference will take place in September, at the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid.

Nowadays, energy efficiency is one of the most important targets in Europe. However, the implementation of energy saving measures in historic buildings is still a poorly treated topic despite the large number of ancient buildings existing across Europe.

The energetic rehabilitation of built heritage, a wide labour market to be developed, needs different agents and areas that are not yet coordinated with each other.

This Conference will be a dynamic space of networking between such agents: researchers in these areas, companies and professionals involved in the process, owners, managers and users of historic buildings, a fundamental asset and value for the present and future of Europe.

For further information, visit the conference website.
