3. [NEW ITEM] Elizabeth Vines OAM FRAIA M.ICOMOS awarded the 2020 Sir James Irwin RAIA Presidents Medal 

Congratulations to Elizabeth Vines, a past Australia ICOMOS President, who last night was awarded the 2020 Sir James Irwin RAIA Presidents Medal from the South Australian Institute of Architects, for the Promotion of the Profession of Architecture. The Citation from the Antonio Giannone, the current Institute SA President, who presented the medal (at the “virtual” event) reads as follows:

“The 2020 recipient of the Sir James Irwin President’s Medal is a champion of heritage and architectural conservation in South Australia and internationally. This is a sector of our profession that frequently goes uncelebrated in the struggle to maintain the integrity of our urban fabric. Heritage architects are frequently at odds with, and challenged by, government and developers for defending the integrity of our built environment and advocating for the retention of historic buildings. As an award-winning conservation architect, author and teacher, she is a past President of Australian ICOMOS, Getty Scholar and an Adjunct Professor at both Deakin University in Melbourne and Hong Kong University. She is a partner in the firm McDougall & Vines, a practice with extensive experience and an exemplary record of achievement in conservation architecture and heritage town rejuvenation throughout Australia and Asia. She consults to a wide range of government authorities and local councils throughout the region, and is a consultant to UNESCO, the Getty Conservation Institute, the World Bank and the European Union. In 2007 she established the Streetwise Asia Fund to assist modest heritage projects in Asia and in 2009 was awarded the Medal of The Order of Australia for Services to Heritage Conservation and Architecture in Australia and Asia. As architects, we are the generational grandparents of significant cultural buildings and precincts, acting as their custodians and voice. It is my privilege and honour to bestow the Sir James Irwin President’s Medal to Elizabeth Vines OAM FRAIA for the exemplary role she has played in championing and reimagining our cultural heritage.”

4. [NEW ITEM] ICOMOS Training Course “Heritage Communities and Human Rights”, 2-5 September 2020, Estonia & online – applications close 31 July

The ICOMOS “Our Common Dignity” Working Group is honored to invite heritage experts, community leaders and graduate students from Europe and around the world to training course “Heritage Communities and Human Rights”,  which will be held on 2-5 September 2020 in Estonia and via the internet.

The course combines theoretical approaches with learning from practice, involving field visits in Estonia as well as an exchange among participants.

The principal aim of the training course is to give heritage experts a solid knowledge basis to address human rights issues in heritage management with the focus on the rights of the owners and the communities. The course lecturers will provide an introduction to international human rights law that specifically relates to culture, heritage and communities. In addition to providing basic knowledge about human rights and the UN, UNESCO and IUCN systems and practices, this course will discuss cases of heritage management and rights in protected heritage areas in different countries. 

The training course on rights-based approaches is led by Dr. Peter Bille Larsen, the University of Geneva, and Dr. Stener Ekern, Oslo University. Field visit modules will be introduced and moderated by Riin Alatalu and Ave Paulus (ICOMOS “Our Common Dignity” Working Group).

Applications for the course are required and are due by 31 July.

Welcome to GA2023!

Dear Australia ICOMOS Members and friends,

It is a great pleasure to invite you to the 21st Triennial General Assembly of ICOMOS, to be held in Sydney in September 2023.

The 2023 General Assembly will be an extra special opportunity to be together and enjoy the natural and cultural beauty of Sydney. We look forward to sharing knowledge, promoting excellence in practice and enjoying the company of colleagues from around the world.

Australia ICOMOS thanks the ICOMOS Board and our many international friends for their support. The hard work of Australia ICOMOS members planning for GA2020, and their support with moving forward when it could not be held, will not go unrewarded. With the generous assistance of the Australian and NSW State Governments and the City of Sydney, we are thrilled to bring an ICOMOS General Assembly to the Pacific region for the first time.

From 1-9 September 2023, the General Assembly will be held in world-class facilities and offer an exciting program of site visits, workshops, lectures, expert meetings and social gatherings in the inspirational setting of Sydney Harbour. Sydney has vibrant Indigenous and multicultural communities who will actively contribute to the General Assembly.

The General Assembly will be a springing point for people to explore the natural and cultural heritage of Australia and will leave a lasting legacy.

Please join us at the General Assembly in Sydney in 2023!

Helen Lardner,
President, Australia ICOMOS

Announcement from ICOMOS President Toshiyuki Kono

Dear ICOMOS Members and friends,

I have the pleasure of informing you that the ICOMOS Board, in agreement with the Advisory Committee officers, has accepted the generous offer by Australia ICOMOS to host the 2023 Triennial ICOMOS General Assembly in Sydney.

Following the difficult decision our Australian colleagues had to make with regards to the GA2020 – into which they had invested an impressive amount of energy, planning and funds – we are extremely grateful to Australia ICOMOS and all its members for making this alternative proposal in a record time, transforming a disappointing situation into a positive perspective, and for their constant commitment to ICOMOS.

We also thank the Australian Convenor, Richard Mackay and the Scientific Symposium Co-Chairs, Steve Brown and Ona Vileikis, for accepting to again serve for the GA2023 to ensure continuity and build on the work already accomplished.

We all look forward to Sydney 2023.

Yours sincerely,
Toshiyuki Kono
President, ICOMOS

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Final ICOMOS GA2020 Statement

Australia ICOMOS is delighted that the ICOMOS Board has graciously determined that the 21st triennial General Assembly and Scientific Symposium of ICOMOS will be hosted by Australia ICOMOS in Sydney in September 2023.

Further information about ‘GA2023’ will be made available in due course, once the situation regarding COVID-19 and implications for global travel and economic recovery have become more apparent, and preliminary plans are in place.

In the meantime, the GA2020 registration process has been suspended, and the GA2020 website will not be updated further. Registered delegates, those who have submitted abstracts and other interested parties will be contacted directly, as information about options and arrangements for the transition to 2023 are determined.

Australia ICOMOS will continue to place the health and safety of GA2020 delegates, ICOMOS members, and event and venue staff at the forefront of our decision making.

Australia ICOMOS will host an online ‘marker’ event in October 2020 to acknowledge the enormous support and goodwill shown towards planning GA2020.

Australia ICOMOS remains committed to supporting and enriching the global work of ICOMOS and looks forward to welcoming delegates to Sydney for GA2023 in September 2023!

Membership of the Australia ICOMOS Reconciliation Action Plan Working Group – EOI by 3 July 2020

Australia ICOMOS has a practice of refreshing membership of its committees and working groups. The current membership of the Reconciliation Action Plan Working Group has been in place for some time and is now due for a refresh.

The preparation and adoption of a Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) is a tangible expression of Australia ICOMOS’ commitment to Reconciliation and justice for Australia’s First Nations People. The Draft RAP is nearing completion. It follows the format for REFLECT RAPs – the first step in the structured approach set out by Reconciliation Australia.

At the 2019 AGM, Australia ICOMOS resolved to support the Uluru Statement from the Heart – ‘…a national Indigenous consensus position on Indigenous constitutional recognition.’ The major task of the refreshed RAP Working Group will be to consider how Australia ICOMOS’ support of the Uluru Statement can be integrated into the Draft RAP, including what additional actions may be appropriate.

Once the RAP has been finalised, the Working Group will be tasked with guiding how the RAP actions will be implemented and reported.

This Working Group requires active participation to develop the knowledge, skills, and research to support Australia ICOMOS’ commitment to Reconciliation in Australia. Prior experience working and collaborating with Australia’s First Nations people is highly desirable. First Nations people are strongly encouraged to apply.

Young & Emerging Professionals who are willing to play an active role in advancing the work of the Working Group but do not have prior experience are encouraged to express their interest.

In addition to the tasks outlined above, the new group will prepare a Terms of Reference to guide its activities.

Members of Australia ICOMOS can express their interest by emailing Caitlin Mitropoulos, EC Representative on the RAP Working Group. Caitlin will forward a copy of the RAP Working EOI form, which will be due COB 3 July 2020. Caitlin can be reached at this email address or at 0400 213 171 for further information.

CONFERENCE / SYMPOSIUM CALL FOR PAPERS & OPEN REGISTRATIONS

CHNT conference, 4-6 November 2020, Vienna – REVISED FORMAT & extension to call for papers, posters and apps: deadline 31 July

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

 

COVID-19 update

Due to the evolving COVID-19 situation, the organisers have mapped out the following scenarios for this conference:

  • Scenario 1: Hybrid Conference (Participants and Live Stream for colleagues, who have travel restrictions)
  • Scenario 2: Virtual Conference

The final decision in relation to which scenario will prevail will be 31 August 2020 at the latest.

 

Call for papers, posters and apps

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

>> more about the theme

More information about the calls are available here for papers and posters and here for the app.

Deadline for submissions: 31 July

The organisers have also started a “Culture = Future” page, for which they invite statements and thoughts from you about colleagues who have lost or will lose their jobs, because there are less excavations, less projects, the money is needed for something else but not for archaeology, museums and cultural heritage – view this and consider submitting your thoughts.
