4. [NEW ITEM] Rebuilding Mosul webinar, 7 April, 7pm Rome time | 8 April, 3am AEST

‘Rebuilding Mosul – from the ground up’
Presented by Dr Rohit Jigyasu, ICCROM
 7 April 2021, 7pm Rome time
[8 April, 3am AEST | 2.30am SA & NT | 1am WA]
 
Few will forget the images of destruction from Mosul during the Iraq War and the devastating toll on its people and urban fabric. ISIS overran the city in 2014; retaking it from them resulted in one of the largest military battles in recent times and it left Mosul a city of ruins.

Dr Rohit Jigyasu is in charge of an ICCROM-led multi-agency project that aims to help rebuild Mosul, working from a community level and giving local people the skills to lead restoration projects. Dr Jigyasu is a specialist in disaster risk management. From 2010 to 2018 he held the UNESCO Chair at the Institute for Disaster Mitigation of Urban Cultural Heritage at Ritsumeikan University, Kyoto, Japan. His research focuses on using traditional knowledge in disaster risk management plans. 

Everyone is welcome. More information and registration at this link

5. [NEW ITEM] CAS-ASHA Annual Archaeology Symposium: Suburban Archaeology, 17 April 2021

A half-day Archaeological Symposium on a theme related to the ACT and Region Heritage Festival – ‘reImagine’ – will be held on 17 April 2021. There will be 6 expert speakers giving 5 presentations, followed by a Q&A panel. It is a collaborative event between Australian Society for Historical Archaeology (ASHA) and the Canberra Archaeological Society (CAS). It is the third year of symposium presentation and its general purpose is to promote a greater public awareness and understanding of archaeology, including both Indigenous and historical archaeology.

The Symposium theme will explore how archaeology assists in the ‘reImagining’ of Canberra’s past and heritage for its greater understanding and conservation. It will be an exciting event that will explore how Indigenous and historical archaeology assists in the ‘reImagining’ of the ACT’s heritage for it’s greater understanding and protection. Interesting talks will include a focus on the ACT Government’s archaeological investigative work for greenfields/suburban development including contextual research, field survey, on other suburban archaeology, including geoarchaeology, and will also, importantly and critically, include an Indigenous perspective.

This year the Symposium will be held in the Theatre of our other event partner, the Canberra Museum and Gallery (CMAG). Under the ACT’s COVID social distancing restrictions attendee numbers will be strictly limited. Entry by gold coin donation.

The SA State Government’s new planning system officially launched on 19 March 2021 – the Planning, Development and Infrastructure Act 2016 (PDI Act) now replaces the Development Act 1993, bringing info effect a single source of state-wide planning rules for simpler, clearer and more consistent zoning policy via the Planning and Design Code and ePlanning platform.

The implementation of the Code across the entire state is a major milestone for planning and development in South Australia and will deliver consistent, predictable, reliable rules at the local, regional and state level.

All South Australians can now – from the comfort of their homes, offices or on the go using a smart phone, tablet or computer – lodge and track development applications online, search property zoning, find an accredited professional, review development rules, make payments, submit information, and track major projects and development activity across the state.

The online planning system for South Australia can be accessed here.

PlanSA training and education sessions can be found here.

Australia ICOMOS Mentoring Program – calling for Mentors! Submit an EOI by 9 April

It’s here again! We need Australia ICOMOS members based in New South Wales and Victoria to step up and join us as mentors for students from the University of Sydney, University of Melbourne, Latrobe University and Deakin University.

We are celebrating a milestone birthday – after a pilot phase in the ACT, Australia ICOMOS launched its student mentoring program in 2011 and supports members to share their knowledge and networks with students planning careers in heritage. The program has been enthusiastically received by both mentors and mentees.

We usually have many more students than mentors apply – this restricts the size of the program, so we rely on the generosity of ICOMOS members so that as many students as possible can be paired.

What is required?

We ask mentors to meet with their mentees at least 3 times during the program between May and October. These meetings allow discussion about issues involved in heritage practice, and the student’s study and work interests. This year, we will be providing some extra ideas to help mentoring pairs use these exchanges well. 


Also new this year – we are planning a virtual national launch in late April so that mentors and mentees from across Australia can join together. The ‘save the date’ will be announced soon. We hope to host face-to-face social state-based closing events in October/November. Mentoring pairs will also be supported to attend State-based events organised during the year by Australia ICOMOS.

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 be an ICOMOS MENTOR, please email an expression of interest to the Australia ICOMOS Secretariat by COB Friday 9 April 2020.

Please provide your contact details (email and a work or mobile number) and a brief outline of your field of professional experience, interests 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. 


Mentors in other States and Territories: we sometimes have mentoring opportunities in other States and Territories (for students studying by distance through one of the participating Universities). So, if you are keen, but don’t live in Victoria, NSW or WA – please send us your EOI. We will see what’s possible!

How do I get involved as a MENTEE? 


Students in participating university courses will be advised of the application process by the focal point at their university. Please contact the person at your university as a first step. 


When do we start? 


We will be matching students and mentors and hosting the launch event at the end of April. We will circulate additional information about our ‘launch event’ once we are more certain about it.

We hope that all members based in participating States will welcome this opportunity to participate in the efforts of Australia ICOMOS and its partners to support students and emerging professionals across a range of cultural heritage disciplines.

Port Arthur Talk, 13 April 2021

The Landscape Archaeology of Point Puer
presented by Caitlin D’Gluyas

Caiti is an historical archaeologist whose core interests are Australian archaeology, spatial history and the archaeology of children. She is currently a PhD candidate at the University of New England. Her research focuses on Point Puer as well as early nineteenth century juvenile criminal management in colonial Australia and internationally.

Hidden within the bushy peninsula of Point Puer is a rich archaeological landscape that reveals a remarkable range of insights into the history of the site and the lives of the convict boys who were sent there. This presentation shares new research into the archaeological landscape of Point Puer and what the findings tell us about the experiences of the occupants and the ideology and colonial practices that created one of the world’s first separate juvenile prisons in such an isolated location.

When: 13 April, 12pm

Where: 1830 Restaurant & Bar, Visitor Centre, Port Arthur Historic Site

RSVP NOTE: Attendance by booking only. For bookings phone 1800 659 101 between 10am and 4pm or email Port Arthur Reservations

INTERNATIONAL DAY FOR MONUMENTS AND SITES (IDMS) 2021
ICOMOS Emerging Professionals Working Group (EPWG) Africa-U.S. Collaboration
Intergenerational Conversation on Society and Heritage: Perspectives from Africa and the USA

Date: Wednesday 14 April 2021
Time: Accra: 17:00-18:15 (UTC) | Lagos: 18:00-19:15 (UTC+1) | London: 18:00-19:15 (UTC+1) | DC: 13:00-14:15 (UTC-4) | Sydney: 03:00-04:15 (UTC+10)+1 day

Theme

Leveraging heritage for a better future is gaining prominence across national, continental and international discourses, as heritage is not simply a record of the past but a cultural process reflecting the social realities of today. What is the role of heritage in tackling societal challenges including equity, diversity and inclusion in and among communities? How should heritage be integrated into decision-making processes to ensure sustainable development at the local and regional levels? What is the relationship between broader societal forces and heritage?

The leaders of governments in Africa envisioned a future where the continent is free of conflict, poverty, human rights violations and disasters. The vision encapsulates the significance of heritage within the society in the seven aspirations of African Union Agenda 2063: The Africa We Want reflecting the desire for inclusion, equality and integration for everyone regardless of gender, ethnicity and age. To this end, heritage defines people’s identities and histories and helps to rebuild communities after disasters, create new shared understanding of the past, stimulate local development and create opportunities for a better future.

In the United States, recent national discussions and protests have spotlighted unresolved racial issues and inequalities that continue to divide the country. Exploring the issues, struggles and contributions of different communities in historic places are critical to charting a path toward national healing and an equitable future.

Format

The event is led by ICOMOS EPWG representatives from the USA and the Africa region (Zoe Leung and Olufemi Adentunji), to support intergenerational exchanges critical to safeguarding and promoting heritage. The program will feature a conversation among established and emerging professionals in heritage preservation from the United States and African countries, moderated by a USA participant.

AGHS Webinar – “Colin Randall – The Gardens of Garden Island”, 14 April, 7pm AEST

The talk covers three topics:- the ship’s garden; the naval garden on The Hill; and the lost gardens of Garden Island.

The ship’s garden was first planted on Garden Island just 16 days after the first fleet arrived in Sydney Cove in February 1788. These were gardens created to provide fresh food to ward off the dreaded scurvy. The origin of the gardens as well as its eventual use as the site in 1874 of the first lawn tennis ground in Australia is discussed.

The naval garden on the northern hill of Garden Island was created from 1885 with the re-establishment of the lawn tennis court from its original location.With Royal and vice-regal visits to Sydney The Hill became a place for tree plantings as well as locating items of naval interest. The use of the naval garden and its vistas for formal photographs is covered. The presence of the naval and dockyard families and their use of The Hill as their playground and backyard influenced the design of the garden.

With the construction of the Captain Cook Graving Dock from 1941 until 1945 dramatic changes were made to the shoreline of Potts Point. The war time imperatives forced the compulsory resumption of land and the necessity to erect a concrete batching plant, destroyed in part two remarkable gardens.The gardens that were affected were those of Clarens and Wyldefel. The talk covers the two “lost”gardens with images of their original state and current situation.

Date: Wednesday 14 April 2021

Time: 7pm sharp, call begins at 6:45pm

Cost: AGHS members $10; Non-members $15; Students $5

(re)create: art and the activation of heritage, one-day symposium, 21 April, Canberra

(re)create: art and the activation of heritage
One-day symposium, Wednesday 21 April 2021, 8:45am–5pm
Ann Harding Conference Centre, University of Canberra

(re)create is a one-day symposium exploring the role of creative art practice in the activation of heritage places, practices and projects.

(re)create brings together artists, curators, heritage professionals and other researchers to explore the new perspectives that art can bring to heritage interpretation, engagement, community participation and collective problem-solving.

Speakers will discuss their involvement in reanimating archives, reimagining histories, place and ecologies, and drawing inspiration from collections and things. Whether it be the activation of dormant seed banks, endangered mammals on the edge of suburbia, or the values of mid-century modern buildings, art has a role to play in how we frame our future heritage.

20th Century Heritage Society NSW Walk and Talk Program – “A Street of Strange Delight”, 24 April, 2pm AEST

In September 1935, in a double-page feature, The Home magazine described Hastings Road, Warrawee, as ‘A Street of Strange Delight’.

The editor of that long-departed journal observed how the inhabitants had ‘…striven harmoniously to preserve the rustic flavour that characterises the district’ and had succeeded in ‘making a simple street one of the most notable in NSW’.

The Home enthused about ‘Rivenhall’ – with its exotic Japanese tea house – and ‘many other residences of pleasing design’.

Today, Hastings Road is still known for grand residences such as ‘Wirepe’ (pictured above), and ‘Pibrac’, designed by Canadian architect John Horbury Hunt.

We hope you’ll join us in this exciting first step in the revival of our Walks & Talks program. Our guide will be architectural historian Dr Zeny Edwards OAM. We’ll be entirely outdoors, with social distancing guidelines being observed.

Date: 24 April 2021

Time: 2pm to 4pm

Cost: $35

Central Victorian Goldfields World Heritage bid and the Happiness Index Survey

An Australian first is being launched on March 20, the International Day of Happiness, across the thirteen local government areas that make up the Central Victorian Goldfields region. The Happiness Index survey – a powerful global tool that asks communities about their quality of life – is helping put the region’s communities front and centre in tourism planning for the Central Victorian Goldfields World Heritage bid.

The survey findings allow tourism stakeholders to consider the highs and lows of a destination’s well-being and determine what policies, projects, and actions are needed to strengthen linkages between tourism development, World Heritage management and the quality of life of host communities. Deployment of the survey is a partnership between the World Heritage bid’s thirteen local government partners, Planet Happiness and the National Trust of Australia (Victoria).

Find out more at the Central Victorian Goldfields World Heritage bid website.
