1. [NEW ITEM] Now Available: Proceedings of the Australia ICOMOS Cultural Landscape Symposium – Diversity and the Implications for Management, Hobart, Tasmania, 2018

The Proceedings of the Australia ICOMOS Cultural Landscape Symposium Diversity and the Implications for Management, which was held in Hobart, Tasmania, in November 2018, is now published (Australia ICOMOS, 2020) and available for free download in digital format from the Australia ICOMOS website. The 2018 Symposium was an initiative of the Australia ICOMOS National Scientific Committee on Cultural Landscapes and Cultural Routes.

The volume provides an insight into the current state-of-play in the recognition and management of cultural landscapes. The Proceedings include nine papers from the 2018 Symposium, and collectively reflect a diversity of cultural landscapes and their different management needs. The papers focus largely on the Australian situation, although there are two overview papers that discuss the international framework for cultural landscape recognition and management and one paper focussed on an international urban landscape (Rio de Janeiro). Some papers explore the frameworks for identifying and managing broad classes of cultural landscape, while others look at how the diverse values of cultural landscapes need to be recognised and provided for in managing such landscapes. The papers explore a diversity of urban and rural cultural landscapes, as well as protected area landscapes and the challenges of integrating and managing their natural-cultural attributes and values.

2. [NEW ITEM] 2020 Paul Mellon Lecture: Do Monuments Matter? New York, Monday 2 March, 7.00pm – event sold out but can be LIVESTREAMED

World Monuments Fund and the Museum of the City of New York present:

2020 Paul Mellon Lecture: Do Monuments Matter? Reimagining their role in a changing world

In recent years, the dialogue around monuments has seized headlines and provoked debate. But they have been created for thousands of years, each with unique intents, values, and challenges of its own. They are represented by great architectural treasures like the temples of Angkor, culturally-relevant heritage sites like the homes of Civil Rights leaders in Alabama, and powerful commemorative works like the National Memorial for Peace and Justice. What they share in common is the ability to move us—inspire us or motivate us to question their deeper purpose and function in society. World Monuments Fund and the Museum of the City of New York invite you to an evening of conversation that aims to reframe the “monument” in contemporary society and explore the role communities play in decision-making about past and future sites.

For more details about this event, including the link to livestream via Facebook, visit the World Monuments Fund website.

3. [NEW ITEM] REEF Installation exhibition opening, 5 March, Sydney

Reef, an ongoing experimental drawing installation exploring abstract possibilities in the open sketch

Please join the University of Sydney School of Architecture, Design and Planning, for the exhibition opening of Reef.

Reef is an experimental drawing installation that exists simultaneously in three overlapping dimensions: material space, virtual space and sound space. It is a sketch of a small section of sea bed in Kaikōura, Aotearoa New Zealand. The Kaikōura reef is the visible part of a vast landscape that drops several kilometres below the sea’s surface and connects to an extensive canyon system that marks the junction of the Pacific and Australian tectonic plates. Vast forces were released in the 2016 Kaikōura earthquake causing the submarine landscape to jolt upwards, and with it the reef.

Date: Thursday 5 March
Time: 6:00 – 8:00pm
Cost: FREE!
Venue: Tin Sheds Gallery, 154 City Road, Darlington

4. [NEW ITEM] Port Arthur Talk, 17 March 2020

How heritage is handling climate change, here and abroad
presented by Dr Caitlin Vertigan

This talk will review Dr Caitlin Vertigan’s recent keynote presentation to the international Sea Change conference in Blackpool, a summary of what everyone else in the international heritage world is talking about in relation to responses to the impacts of climate change, and the places she visited after the conference that are facing similar challenges to us. Far from being an isolated voice at the bottom end of the earth, Tasmania is contributing substantially to the global conversation about how we navigate the challenges in cultural heritage associated with a rapidly changing environment.

Caitlin has worked for PAHSMA for many years, but she has also done things like: getting a PhD in marine ecology, working in Victoria on both marine and terrestrial ecological projects, extensive science communication, and bridging the gap between the heritage and the scientific worlds. She is currently employed as a Conservation Project Officer at PAHSMA where she looks after the natural values of our varied sites, and facilitates the research program.

When: Tuesday 17 March at 5.00pm

Where: Junior Medical Officer’s Conference Room (the building behind the house), Port Arthur Historic Site

TALK – City as Theatre and Laboratory: Is Tourism now the only Performer on the Dubrovnik Stage? 12 March, Sydney

Join the School of Architecture, Design and Planning, for a public talk by Associate Professor Sandra Uskokovic of the University of Dubrovnik, Croatia.

Recent redistribution of property and a redirection of capital investment associated with the new market economy, and increased tourism flows buoyed by a wave of transformations in the UNESCO designated historic city of Dubrovnik, have led to the city’s museumification, gentrification and an effacement of public spaces and memory of the city. The production of consecrated, canonized images, and a romanticized image of the historical past, serving tourism and entertainment, have undermined its urbanity, replacing it with a monumental, static image.

Once a theatrical city, Dubrovnik is today a city laboratory for experimentation, choreographed in silent complicity with tourism, while urban image construction is entangled in short-term investment strategies. In a historical moment when the experience of public space seemed to be entirely mediated by ownership and finance, an opportunity emerged for art practices that highlight the complex social experiences of urban space in more creative and palpable ways that focus on the public interest. The Shadow Casters’ project is one such practice, a critical performance of memory that pieces together the performative depictions of urban images and the performative translations of mute urban objects in Dubrovnik. The project seeks to make the urban past present in ways that can be experienced, generating a knowledge of the relationship between past and present that is oftentimes troubling, and at other times comforting.

Date & time: 6:30pm, Thursday 12 March, light refreshments from 6pm

The Plain of Jars of Laos: Past, Present and Future talk, 3 April, Sydney

Join us for a discussion on the Plain of Jars of Laos and its future following its recognition as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2019.

On 6 July 2019, in Baku, Azerbaijan, the Plain of Jars was inscribed as a World Heritage Monument: a unique testimony to a cultural tradition “which has disappeared”. For centuries, thousands of stone jars lay in splendid isolation, admired by villagers and the occasional European explorer. After the initial survey by Dr Madeleine Colani in 1931-1933, only now we begin to understand the complexities of the 100 sites spread over Xieng Khouang and Luang Prabang provinces. Nowadays the jars are viewed as a unique megalithic manifestation in Mainland Southeast Asia, rather than vessels “made by angels to drink liquors from”. What are the future prospects for these mysterious creations and what is the level of preparedness for the increased tourist visits that follow a nomination?

Date & time: 3 April, 12.30-1.30pm
Venue: University of Sydney, Camperdown

ICOMOS Joins the Smithsonian Institution to Address Climate Change and Cultural Heritage via 5-6 March symposium

Climate change has become one of the most significant threats to people and their cultural heritage around the globe. Cultural heritage is both impacted by climate change and an important part of strategies for driving climate action. So where does the cultural heritage community stand now in terms of engaging on climate change, where do we want to go and how do we get there? The USA’s Smithsonian Institution is putting the focus squarely on these urgent questions at a two-day long symposium entitled ‘Stemming the Tide: Global Strategies for Sustaining Cultural Heritage Through Climate Change.’ The event will be held on 5-6 March in Washington, DC. ICOMOS is proud to be joining with the International Institute for Conservation (IIC) and the American Institute for Conservation (AIC) as co-sponsors of the Symposium, which is being hosted by the Smithsonian American Art Museum and the Smithsonian’s National Collections Program.

CHNT conference, 4-6 November 2020 , Vienna – call for submissions: deadline 8 March

Cultural Heritage and New Technologies (CHNT) conference
Artificial Intelligence : New pathways towards cultural heritage
4-6 November 2020
Vienna, Austria

Call for proposals for sessions, round tables, advanced archaeological trainings or science slam

We know how to digitize our heritage, so what is the next step: making our Cultural Heritage more accessible to the general public / researchers, and even accessible when it is not there anymore.

In recent years, the application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) approaches has increased rapidly in cultural heritage (CH) management and research. A main driver is the availability of remote sensing data, allowing us to detect new archaeological sites and to monitor the preservation of known monuments. Due to advances in computer power and a wide range of free machine learning tools, large amounts of remote sensing data can be processed automatically for CH purposes instead of covering only small areas by expert inspection.

“Towards a Sustainable Future: Managing Change in Historic Urban Areas and the Surrounding Landscape”, 26-27 March 2020, Netherlands

International meeting: “Towards a Sustainable Future: Managing Change in Historic Urban Areas and the Surrounding Landscape”, Bussum (Fort Werk IV), 26-27 March 2020, the Netherlands.

The Defence Line of Amsterdam and the proposed extension the New Dutch Water Line are organising an international meeting to get answers on the question how to deal with urban and/or development pressure on the city/landscape of World Heritage properties, like for example the Defence Line of Amsterdam.

There are ongoing discussions concerning (World Heritage) cities facing challenges due to dynamic urban development, but what about the cultural landscapes, the areas that connect the cities and the landscapes around them? These landscapes are under pressure (eg. housing quotas, infrastructure and recreation). Climate change and energy transition are issues that will change the spatial quality. How can a dynamic environment be combined with maintaining the (world) heritage values or even enhancing them? During the meeting we would like to use case studies and discussion to highlight the challenges and potential strategies on how to deal with it. The intention is to discuss these challenges on various levels and various practices, eg. policy making, planning, design. If we want to deal with them effectively, we should work towards an integrated approach.

The meeting has three main aims:

• raise awareness regarding the issue of urban and/or development pressure on the city/landscape
• share knowledge with people who are involved in other (potential) World Heritage sites
• working towards a strategy on how to deal with these challenges in the best way possible

At the end of the meeting we would like to have a statement on heritage in high dynamic areas: what are the do’s and don’ts, how to manage dynamics and perspectives in these areas, what kind of development is possible and how do you enforce the (world) heritage values and spatial quality in the same time?

The meeting will take place on 26-27 March 2020 (arrival afternoon/evening of 25 March). It will be in Bussum (Fort Werk IV), the Netherlands. There is no fee to attend the meeting, meals during the programme are included, and accommodation will be provided for in a hotel nearby. See the meeting website for more information regarding the programme and registration.

Contact Rein Kruk by email if you have any questions or would like more information.

2020 Keck Award – call for nominations open & closes 4 March

The International Institute for Conservation of Historic and Artistic Works (IIC) Keck Award was generously endowed by Sheldon and Caroline Keck to commemorate their shared lives of distinguished achievement in conservation. The award is presented every two years at the IIC Congress to the individual or group who has, in the opinion of the IIC Council, contributed most towards promoting public understanding of conservation and engagement with the accomplishments of the conservation profession, and always generates interesting and worthy nominations.

The award consists of a certificate and a prize of £2500, which will be presented at the next biennial IIC Congress in Edinburgh, 2-6 November 2020, on the topic of Practices and Challenges in Built Heritage Conservation. This congress will bridge the divide between built heritage and in-situ collections including decorative surfaces as well as moveable objects – ceramics, curtains, furniture, glass, paintings, sculpted ornaments, tapestries etc – housed in the buildings for which they were collected or commissioned.

Details of previous award winners can be found on the IIC website.

We are now inviting nominations for the 2020 Keck Award. If you would like to propose yourself, or a colleague or institution, or project, please send your nomination to the IIC office by email with the words ‘Keck Award’ in the subject line to arrive by Monday 4 March 2020 (5pm GMT).

Ethel Shipwreck Time-Lapse Project – submit your image by 31 March

 

 

Could Ethel be South Australia’s most photographed shipwreck? Heritage South Australia is keen to find out. Share your photos or videos of this historic shipwreck to be considered for the Ethel Shipwreck Time-Lapse.

Built in 1876, Ethel was a 711-ton, three-masted iron barque, originally launched with the name Carmelo, which ran aground in a storm while en-route from South Africa in 1904. The Ethel wreck is located on the coast in Innes National Park on the Yorke Peninsula.

We are looking forward to viewing your imagery taken over the decades from your personal collections and selecting from these to add to our collection to compile an Ethel Shipwreck Time-Lapse, which will be made available for the public to enjoy.

For more information about this project, visit the SA Department for Environment and Water website.

Upload your digital photos or videos by 31 March 2020.

International Training Course (ITC) on Disaster Risk Management of Cultural Heritage, 2-24 September 2020 – applications close 6 April 2020

Call for applications for the International Training Course (ITC) on Disaster Risk Management of Cultural Heritage 2020 (15th year, Ritsumeikan University, Kyoto) has been announced. It will run from 2-24 September 2020, with the sub-theme “Towards the Integrated Protection of Immovable and Movable Cultural Heritage from Risk of Fire”.

Cultural heritage is increasingly exposed to disasters caused by natural and human-induced hazards such as earthquakes, floods, fires, typhoons, terrorism, etc. Recent examples include fires in Shuri Castle in 2019, the Notre-Dame de Paris in 2019, the National Museum of Brazil in 2018, and across Australia in 2019 and 2020, as well as a typhoon in Western Japan in 2018, earthquakes in Central Mexico in 2017, Kumamoto Japan, Central Italy, Myanmar in 2016, and Nepal in 2015, floods in the UK in 2015, in the Balkans in 2014, and ongoing conflicts in Syria and Yemen. In addition, climate change will cause floods, droughts and bushfires that can create huge damage to both cultural heritage and the natural environment. These disasters not only affect immovable heritage such as monuments, archaeological sites, and historic urban areas, but also cause damage to movable heritage, including museum collections, heritage objects, religious artefacts, and other artefacts that are of significance to local communities. In the aftermath of a disaster, many architectural fragments of damaged or collapsed buildings require documentation, handling and storage. As such, both movable and immovable heritage is exposed to various disasters.

In particular, fires have devastated a substantial number of heritage sites and museums in recent years. This devastation by fires is seen in the cases of the Notre Dame Cathedral, the National Museum of Brazil, the Glasgow School of Arts, the Windsor Castle, part of historic cities (e.g. Valparaiso in Chile and Lijiang in China), historic ships (e.g. the Cutty Sark), national monuments (e.g. the Namdaemun in South Korea), religious structures (e.g. the Wangdue Phodrang in Bhutan), and tombs (e.g. the Kasubi Tombs), as well as museums including the National Museum of Natural History in India and the Southwark Museum in the UK. These fires are caused by both natural and human-induced factors inside or outside of cultural heritage. The former includes bush or forest fires under high temperatures during periods of little or no rainfalls, lightning, and volcanoes. The latter includes electrical short circuits due to faulty wiring, smoking, open flames, the burning of candles, arson and bombing. Fires may also follow natural hazards such as earthquakes or hurricanes, as seen in the case of the Kobe earthquake in 1995 where fires destroyed significant parts of historic neighbourhoods made of wooden houses. There are also many instances in which fires are caused by negligence during the restoration and upgradation works of heritage buildings and museums. Inappropriate response measures, such as the misuse of fire extinguishing agents, may sometimes unintentionally cause damage to heritage sites, museums and their collections. As such, fires have resulted in the loss of both tangible and intangible components of cultural heritage; tangible ones include natural landscapes, archaeological materials, built structures and collections, and intangible ones include rituals, cultural practices and traditional skills.

The Guidelines and the Application Form are now available at the Institute of Disaster Mitigation for Urban Cultural Heritage, Ritsumeikan University (R-DMUCH) website.

We would very much like to encourage Australian applications to this course, which is supported by UNESCO and ICCROM. It is a high quality course that will be extremely useful to managing disaster risk to heritage in Australia.

If you are thinking of applying please contact Catherine Forbes, a previous course participant. She will be happy to discuss the course and application procedure – send Catherine an email.

Please apply! Applications close 6 April 2020.
