3. Deakin University Cultural Heritage Seminar, Tuesday 7 March

Tuesday 7 March, 5.00-6.00pm
Current and recent works at Kew Palace, London
presented by Lee Prosser, Curator of Buildings for Historic Royal Palaces

Kew Palace (adjacent to the famous Gardens) on the Thames has a complex Tudor history. What remains is the early 18thC ‘Dutch House’, inhabited and improved by several generations of Georges, specially their queens, sisters, and daughters, and several smaller houses and garden features. Under HRP management, it’s been the site of many interesting interpretation projects and continuing conservation and restoration, such as the Royal Kitchens. A current project is the Pagoda, a monument of 1760s Chinoiserie.

Deakin heritage seminars in 2017 take place at the new ‘Deakin Downtown’ address: 727 Collins St, Tower 2, level 12. It’s just over the crest of Batman’s hill, close to the south end of Southern Cross station, on the south side of the street. Entry is not easy. Look for a jumbled veranda of bright yellow pipes above a café. It leads into the foyer of Tower 2. The reception desk directs you to an escalator to a bank of lifts. Go to level 12 and Deakin Downtown is on your right.

Enquiries to Linda Young: (03) 9482 7482.

The Destruction of Memory: The War Against Culture, and the Battle to Save It
Free Screening: Thursday, 16 March, 6.30pm

A joint presentation of the Australian Collaboratory for Architectural History, Urban and Cultural Heritage (ACAHUCH) and the University of Melbourne Faculty of Arts. Join director Tim Slade for a free and exclusive screening of this major documentary, followed by a Q&A session featuring a panel of experts.

Over the past century, cultural destruction has wrought catastrophic results across the globe. This war against culture is not over – it’s been steadily increasing.

Based on the book of the same name by Robert Bevan, The Destruction of Memory tells the whole story – looking not just at the ongoing actions of Daesh (ISIS) and at other contemporary situations, but revealing the decisions of the past that allowed the issue to remain hidden in the shadows for so many years.

Interviewees in the film include the Director-General of UNESCO, the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, as well as diverse and distinguished international experts, whose voices combine to address this urgent issue.

The new Local Heritage Strategic Projects program will provide $2 million in funding each year over three years, to provide new opportunities for local communities to collaborate on projects that conserve and rejuvenate their local heritage places. They will drive reform in how we protect, share and celebrate our heritage spaces with initiatives that focus on management and activation in communities.

The Local Heritage Strategic Projects program encourages local communities to identify their own priorities under four broad categories covering conservation and restoration, raising community awareness, innovation in heritage management, and broaden understanding of heritage values. Successful applicants of Local Heritage Strategic Projects will also be provided with specialist support and advice from initial project planning, through to delivery and evaluation from the Heritage Near Me Roadshow team.

The second round of funding through the Heritage Activation Grants stream is now open with a further $2.67 million available. These grants are designed to increase public enjoyment of local heritage by supporting projects such as physical works for better public access, new and innovative public programming, and the development of strategy and business plans.

Owners or managers of heritage items that are listed on their council’s Local Environmental Plan and regularly open to the public are invited to apply for funding through the Heritage Activation Grants program.

Applications under the Local Heritage Strategic Projects are open year round subject to available funding. Applications under the Heritage Activation program are open from now until Monday 21 April.
