6. Deakin University Cultural Heritage Seminar, Melbourne, 26 April

Deakin University’s Cultural Heritage Seminar Series is pleased to invite you to a presentation by Toby Juliff (Victorian College of the Arts) on “ ‘I’m only here for me dad’s sake’: affecting Critical Heritage and contemporary art”.

Abstract

In 2001 the British artist Jeremy Deller re-imagined and re-enacted the Battle of Orgreave, an infamous 1984 clash of striking miners and police that led to widespread arrests and injuries on both sides. This project – named simply enough The Battle of Orgreave – was supported by UK-lottery funded art agency ArtAngel and took place 17 years to the day following the origin conflict. Employing former miners, their descendants, historical re-enactment societies and interested volunteers the ’84 battle was played out with foam bricks and plastic batons. The encounter, filmed by Mike Figgis for Channel 4, was seen by Deller as symptomatic of the strike and trauma for generations of local communities more generally. This study re-evaluates The Battle of Orgreave in terms of debates and sets of conditions emerging from Critical Heritage Studies that might offer a reading of the work as exemplifying an ‘affecting heritage’. In this reading, Deller’s project – ostensibly a conceptual participatory art event – can be re-evaluated for its efficacious demand for presence and the positive employment of critical tension in communities often isolated from both contemporary art and critical heritage. In bringing together multi-generational participants (many who were not present in 1984), supporters of the strike, social historians and, in a mostly advisory capacity, the ‘oppressors’ from the original conflict The Battle of Orgreave offers up a scenario in which to instrumentalise and facilitate empathetic performative gestures whilst retaining a critical voice cognisant of the emotional complexities of communities still struggling to find a critical voice to describe events in their own living history.

Biography

Toby Juliff is a graduate of the University of Leeds specializing in the history and theory of sculpture. Before arriving at the Victorian College of the Arts (VCA) he was lecturer in Critical and Contextual Studies at Leeds College of Art (2006-2012) and associate lecturer in Art History at the Open University, UK (2008-2012) where he taught on the MA Art History program. He has presented lectures at peer-reviewed conferences at the Courtauld Institute, University of London, the Universities of Amsterdam, Gothenburg, Paris, Bristol, Warwick, Glasgow, Leeds & Birkbeck College, London. Recent published papers include considerations of heritage and iconoclasm in contemporary London through a lens of contemporary participatory practices.

7. Capacity Building Workshop on Nature-Culture Linkages in Heritage Conservation in Asia and the Pacific, September 2016, Japan – call for applications

Capacity Building Workshop on Nature-Culture Linkages in Heritage Conservation in Asia and the Pacific

Dates: 18 – 30 September 2016
Place: University of Tsukuba, Japan

Organized by the World Heritage Studies and the Certificate Programme on Nature Conservation (CPNC) at the University of Tsukuba, in cooperation with UNESCO World Heritage Centre, IUCN, ICCROM and ICOMOS.

The CBWNCL

The purpose of the Capacity Building Workshops on Nature-Culture Linkages in Asia and the Pacific (CBWNCL) is to contribute to the World Heritage Capacity Building Programme led by ICCROM and IUCN, in consultation with ICOMOS and the UNESCO World Heritage Centre, in developing new approaches towards integrated conservation of cultural and natural heritage. These workshops will explore nature-culture linkages with focus on theory and practice in Asia and the Pacific Region.

Each year, from 2016 to 2019, the series of workshops aims to deal with the general topic of Nature-Culture Linkages in Heritage Conservation. Heritage Conservation is an evolving practice, and one of the current debates focuses on identifying and recovering the connections between nature and culture sectors. This exchange has become instrumental for the interpretation, conservation and sustainable management of both natural and cultural heritage sites.

Visiting Japanese heritage sites will form a core component of the programme where participants will conduct practical work. Participants will be able to understand issues and explore approaches being adopted in the field. 

Theme of CBWNCL 2016: Agricultural Landscapes

Agricultural landscapes have been defined in the context of the World Heritage List as testimonies of humanity’s interaction with the land, and as unique examples of coexistence and interaction between people and nature. These heritage landscapes are seen as representative of a rich cultural diversity, and in some cases of sustainable land-use systems and the evidence of human communities struggle for survival in extreme climatic and environmental conditions. However, agricultural landscapes, from the present and the past, only started to be recognized as holding Outstanding Universal Value (OUV) when the categories of organically evolved Cultural Landscapes were introduced in the Operational Guidelines of the World Heritage Convention in 1992.

READ MORE on the theme

Objectives

• To strengthen theoretical knowledge on agricultural landscapes and their relevance in connecting conservation practices between natural and cultural heritage professionals.
• To visit and exchange experiences with local managers and residents in areas/sites where agricultural landscapes are protected and conserved with different approaches, initiatives and governance systems.
• To reflect on nature-culture linkages, natural values and cultural values in agricultural landscapes in general, and in their own sites/case studies in particular.
• To establish networks among heritage practitioners in the region.

Methodology

The workshop is an intensive programme combining theory and practice, through lectures, presentations and roundtables in Tsukuba at the University Campus, and a field trip to the World Heritage Site of Shirakawa-go and Gokayama in Gifu and Toyama prefectures, and to GIAHS and Satoyama Initiative projects in the Noto Peninsula, where participants will be in contact with local managers and local communities.

Participants

The workshop is open to 15 young professionals from Asia and the Pacific region involved in the management of cultural or natural heritage sites, or agricultural landscapes more specifically. Mid-career heritage practitioners with minimum 5 years’ experience in both natural and cultural heritage sectors who are currently engaged in managing or working with agricultural landscapes in particular, as well as natural heritage sites with cultural values and vice versa, are eligible to apply.

Lecturers

International and Japanese professionals and academics in the field of heritage conservation (nature and culture sectors).

Working language

English

Course Fee

Free

Travel, accommodation and living expenses

Organizers will cover the cost of accommodation and living expenses for the selected participants, and a limited number of scholarships will be available to cover the travel costs.

Certificate

A certificate of attendance given by the University will be awarded to participants who satisfactorily complete the workshop.

Application deadline

29 April 2016

8. Connecting Natural and Cultural Heritage Practice at the IUCN Cogress, Hawaii, 1-5 September 2016

ICOMOS and IUCN are partnering on a joint Nature-Culture Journey at the IUCN World Conservation Congress 2016 (Congress). ICOMOS participation is being supported with help from US/ICOMOS, ICOMOS France, ICOMOS Australia and the ISCs on Pacific Heritage (Pasifika); Polar Heritage (IPHC); Cultural Landscapes (ISCCL); Archeological Management (ICAHM), CIVVIH, Cultural Tourism (ICTC), and Risk Preparedness (ICORP).

The Nature-Culture Journey features over 25 sessions planned by ICOMOS & IUCN constituencies, ICCROM, the UNESCO World Heritage Center and many others including: 

• Implementing the new UN SDGs
• Indigenous voices on nature/culture
• Integrating social & cultural dimensions into large-scale ocean conservation
• The ‘nature’ and ‘culture’ of food cultivation in land and seascapes
• How to form new partnerships across natural and cultural heritage
• People-centered approaches to conserving natural & cultural heritage
• Governance issues & the natural-cultural heritage distinction
• Cultural and spiritual significance of nature in protected area management
• Historic Urban Landscape: integrating culture and nature in urban conservation
• Cultural tourism management planning to sustain biodiversity and communities
• Lessons From Ancestors About Adapting to Climate Change

The quadrennial Congress will bring together thousands of leaders from around the world to advance conservation of the environment and harnessing the solutions nature and culture offer to meeting global challenges. 

Experience demonstrates that in many landscapes, natural and cultural heritage are inextricably bound together and that conservation of these places depends upon better integration. Natural and cultural heritage experts face similar conservation challenges for places with complex biocultural systems and each brings a body of complementary knowledge and capacities. The Nature-Culture Journey will bring together these experts to explore these synergies to advance good practice. 

To participate in the Nature-Culture Journey, you must register for the Congress HERE.

Congress registration requires an IUCN account but accounts are available to all via the registration page. Register by 31 May for lowest rates. Special rates for Speakers and Hawaiian residents are available. CLICK HERE for more information.

9. Port Arthur Talks, Thursday 14 April 2016

Nubeena’s ‘Avenue of Honour’: the George Street Memorial Avenue
presented by Barry Jennings and Dr Lys Ford

The existence of a forgotten memorial in Nubeena on the Tasman Peninsula, in memory of local men who had lost their lives, was recently discovered through an article published in The Mercury newspaper 5 November, 1818. Though the trees are long gone, the reinstatement of a memorial plaque will remind residents of the service of 51 local men. Barry Jennings will explain why and how the new Memorial has been created, giving the background to the project, while Lys Ford will shed some light on the names listed on the plaque.

Barry Jennings started teaching woodwork, metalwork and design graphics at Tasman District High School in 1965. He married local girl Gail Price in 1967 and became involved in the restoration and history of George Garnett’s Honour Boards at about the same time. Gail and Barry have been integral to the life of the Peninsula ever since.

Dr Lys Ford is a linguist who has documented and recorded several endangered Aboriginal languages from the Daly River region of the Northern Territory. Since settling in Tasmania 10 years ago, she has used her research skills to comb the archives for information on Tasman Peninsula combatants in WWI and has curated several exhibitions focussing on how war has impacted the Peninsula.

When: Thursday 14 April 2016 at 5.30pm

Where: Junior Medical Officer’s Conference Room (rear of the house), Port Arthur Historic Site.

For more information call (03) 6251 2324.

19. ICOMOS-ICAHM Conference, 2-5 May 2016, Salalah, Oman

The 2016 ICOMOS International Scientific Committee for Archaeological Heritage Management (ICAHM) Conference, co-sponsored by ICOMOS Oman, will be held in Salalah, Sultanate of Oman, 2-5 May 2016.

The theme for the 2016 Conference is: Archaeological Park as World Heritage Site – A Management Strategy for the Future. The essential value of any archaeological site is dependent upon the degree to which its archaeological materials are kept intact and in context. Because of this, access to archaeological sites is restricted to government authorities and approved researchers in many countries. In a World Heritage setting, however, an archaeological site becomes public space, one that simultaneously promotes and threatens its scientific and historic value. The focus of this conference will be the sustainable management of archaeological World Heritage Sites through negotiating these tensions in planning, inventory and evaluation, facility construction and operation, building management capacity, and inclusion of local stakeholders.
