1. [NEW ITEM] ICCROM Lecture Series: World Heritage Leadership Program, 30 July, 12pm (Rome) / 8pm AEST

Impact Assessment for World Heritage II – steps and processes

This webinar will take you through the principles and processes that you need to be aware of when conducting impact assessments. Especially when conducting an impact assessment for World Heritage, it is important to base the assessment on the Outstanding Universal Value (OUV), and all other values and attributes of the heritage place.

Adopting a sound impact assessment procedure can help States Parties, heritage managers, decision-makers, communities or others in managing World Heritage properties in circumstances where a transformative action is proposed or undertaken in or around the properties – in particular those related to development projects, resource extraction or mass tourism – which may affect the Outstanding Universal Value of the property.

This webinar will take you through the steps and processes of conducting an impact assessment with various different case studies.

Date: 30/07/2020
Time: 12:00 PM (Rome, Italy) / 8.00 PM (AEST)
Location: Online

Speakers

  • Eugene Jo, World Heritage Leadership Programme Manager, ICCROM 
  • Sarah Court, ICCROM Focal Point on World Heritage Impact Assessment  
  • Mizuki Murai, World Heritage Conservation Officer, IUCN 
  • Richard Mackay, ICOMOS Focal Point on World Heritage Impact Assessment

2. [NEW ITEM] Performing The City Online Symposium, 7 August, 10am – 4pm, AEST

Please join the University of Sydney School of Literature, Art and Media for their online symposium. This event is co-presented by Sanné Mestrom, Ian Maxwell and Luke Hespanhol, University of Sydney.

Public space is always contested. Competing interests vie for access to sites, proposing divergent—sometimes compatible, but frequently conflicting—uses, meanings, aesthetics, aspirations.

The discourses and practices engaging directly with the question of public space range from those of the physical/structural industries associated with the built environment (landscape architecture, urban planning), through to the cultural, sociological, and the phenomenological (the public realm as experienced directly through embodiment). And of course, everyone—not only scholars and other professionals—has a stake in the game: we all share—and contest—the places in which we live, work, play, and gather.

‘Public art’, as a specific set of practices and ideas, is a key player in these contests. More, in its capacity to engage imagination and playfulness in the materiality of made objects and environment, public art has the capacity not only to participate in the struggles, but, by grounding interdisciplinary perspectives in that materiality, to serve as
an organising logic for place itself.

3. [NEW ITEM] ICOMOS and ICOM Joint Statement on Hagia Sophia (Istanbul, Turkey)

4. [NEW ITEM] Change Over Time journal – call for abstracts deadline: 15 September 2020

The journal Change Over Time: An International Journal of Conservation and the Built Environment, published by the University of Pennsylvania Press, invites submissions for:

11.1  LEGACIES OF DETENTION, ISOLATION, AND QUARANTINE | Guest Editor: David Barnes

Historically, human societies have isolated outsiders and transgressors to defend themselves against perceived danger. Occasionally, we have isolated ourselves to protect others. The locales in which we have performed isolation range from elaborate complexes and stately edifices to prosaic makeshift shelters. Places of isolation, detention, and quarantine reveal often unspoken truths about the states and the societies that created them. This issue will explore the ways in which communities have preserved and remembered the liminal sites they once designed to tame and physically contain their fears.

Abstracts of 200-300 words are due 15 September 2020. Authors will be notified of provisional paper acceptance by mid-October 2020. Final manuscript submissions will be due mid-March 2021.

For more information, visit the Change Over Time website.

5. [NEW ITEM] Russell Jack House: modernist yet distinctively Australian

In the early 1950s, a young architect purchased a block of bushland on Sydney’s north shore. There, beneath the eucalypts, a new kind of Australian house began to take shape.

The architect, Russell Jack, worked closely with his partner, John Allen – and they drew upon Japanese traditions and the organic work of Frank Lloyd Wright. The house would subsequently win the Sulman Award for domestic architecture in 1957.

Architectural historian, Zeny Edwards, has compiled an architectural profile of Russell Jack House. Included are many interior photos; along with enthusiastic coverage from The Australian Women’s Weekly in 1958.

Links to other online resources are provided (including striking and sympathetic interiors by its current owner, Annalisa Capurro.

THANK YOU FOR OPENING DOORS

Dear friends, supporters, and communities,

We are so pleased to share with you that this year’s campaign has raised $26,706, bringing our overall fundraising total over the past five years to $579,109. We are honoured to receive donations from 285 individuals and philanthropic organisations, 71 of which are new donors this year.
Thank you all so very much. Funds raised through the OPENING DOORS Fundraising Appeal enable us to ensure The Johnston Collection will be sustained for future generations and increase access to the Collection and engage with communities.

Your donations dedicated to the OPENING DOORS Fundraising Appeal help us to open doors to provide extraordinary art and experiences and to preserve William Johnston’s legacy well into the future.

A huge thanks to Lisa Arrowsmith, Chair, OPENING DOORS Fundraising Committee who works tirelessly to coordinate our campaign. We couldn’t do it without you!

Your ongoing support means a lot to us at this time. As a self-funded independent museum, the current period of unplanned closure represents a real challenge. Your donations help fund your Museum during this difficult time.

Take care, stay safe, and thank you.

The ICOMOS International Emerging Professionals Working Group (EPWG) is excited to be hosting the second part of the webinar series on the subject of ‘Heritage and Climate Change’ this July 2020!

This second session will feature speakers who are contributing to the efforts of the ICOMOS International Climate Change and Heritage Working Group (CCHWG) + Climate Heritage Network (CHN).

Across the globe, communities are transforming to address the causes and impacts of climate change. How can heritage help? What does the practice of cultural heritage look like when it’s part of the solution?

This program explores these questions through the work of three colleagues on the frontlines of climate action, in Thailand, Fiji, and Puerto Rico, to demonstrate how cultural heritage can drive and enable climate action.

Registration forms in various languages are available at the links below.

English | Spanish | French

For those that can’t join zoom, this webinar will be broadcast live via the ICOMOS Facebook Page – view the Event Page.

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.
