4. [NEW ITEM] Australia ICOMOS NSW Mentoring Program – calling for New South Wales Members! Submit EOIs by 6 April

Australia ICOMOS launched its student mentoring program in Victoria in 2012 following an earlier trial in the ACT, and it now runs in New South Wales and Victoria. The program supports members to share their knowledge and networks with students looking toward careers in heritage.

As the program has now run with enthusiastic responses from both mentors and mentees, we are very pleased to be offering it in New South Wales for 2020.

When naming their favourite aspect of the program, the majority of previous mentors named the personal contact (we both learned from each other; refreshing to talk to the younger generation; good to know there is actually a pool of interested people; like the opportunity to help a new person into the profession), and almost all felt that they were able to make a valuable contribution to the knowledge and career prospects of their mentee. All respondents enjoyed it so much; they said they would be happy to do it again.

Students in heritage-related post-graduate programs at University of Sydney and University of New South Wales will be invited to apply for the program.

We usually have many more students than mentors apply – this restricts the size of the program, so we are hoping that all ICOMOS members based in New South Wales will consider participating this year.

What is required?

While the mentoring arrangements will vary, we ask that mentors meet with their mentees at least 3 times during the program between April and October/November. These meetings allow discussion about issues involved in heritage practice, and the student’s study and work interests.

There will be a social event held in early May to introduce mentoring pairs. If you wish to be a mentor or a mentee, it is not essential to attend, although this is an easy way to meet and set up the first meeting, as well as networking with other students and colleagues.

There will be a brief evaluation questionnaire distributed at the end of the year that we ask all participants to complete and return.

How do I get involved as a MENTOR?

If you would like to contribute to this valuable (and enjoyable) effort this year, and be an ICOMOS MENTOR, please email an expression of interest to Georgia Meros at the Australia ICOMOS Secretariat by email by 6 April 2020.

Please provide your contact details (email and a work or mobile number) and a brief outline of your field of professional experience and current practice. This will assist the Mentoring Team in matching mentors and mentees.

Mentors must be Full ICOMOS members, and can have professional experience in any sector of cultural heritage practice. We will try to ‘match’ by interest as many students and mentors as possible.

Who will get involved as a MENTEE?

Students in participating university courses will be advised of the application process by the focal point at their university.

All applications will be asked to be received by the Australia ICOMOS Secretariat by 6 April 2020. We will try to ‘match’ by interest as many mentoring pairs as possible.

When do we start?

We will be matching students and mentors next month, and will launch this year’s program with an event in mid to late April. More information about the launch will be sent to participants in the program.

We hope that all members based in New South Wales will welcome this opportunity to participate in the efforts of Australia ICOMOS and its partners to support young professionals across a range of cultural heritage disciplines.

10. [NEW ITEM] Strengthened compliance laws to better protect ACT’s heritage have now commenced

People who damage heritage places and objects in Canberra will face stronger penalties and may be required to repair damage, in recently debated and passed Heritage legislation amendments.

The Canberra community is passionate about our shared heritage and has been calling for more effective ways to deal with breaches of the Heritage Act.

The amendments mean the ACT Government and the ACT Heritage Council now have increased abilities to respond appropriately when a heritage place or object is damaged. In particular the Council may now issue a repair damage direction for damaged heritage places and objects, if they can be repaired.

The ACT Government has also introduced an infringement notice scheme where compliance officers can issue an immediate $1,000 fine to an individual and $5,000 to a corporation for damage to a heritage place, regardless of whether it can be repaired.

See more about the strengthened heritage compliance laws and how heritage is protected in the ACT at this link.

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

How can immersive experiences like virtual reality empower local communities to think differently about our heritage?

Deakin University, the City of Greater Geelong, Geelong Gallery, Geelong Library and Heritage Centre, and the National Wool Museum have been exploring how immersive experiences like virtual reality (VR) empower local communities to think differently about our heritage.

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

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.
