4. [NEW ITEM] Copenhagen Workers Museum workers’ assembly halls project

The Workers Museum in Copenhagen, Denmark is leading a project to identify all relevant and still existing workers’ assembly halls worldwide. They might be known under other names such as trade union hall, labour union hall, labor temple, labor lyceum, casas del pueblo, gewerkschaftshaus, folkets hus, volkhaus, casa del popolo, maison du peuple, bourse du travail or people’s palace. We are working towards a transnational serial nomination of the gathering places of the labour movement, where the intangible values of community, the struggle for rights and a sense of place is embedded in the material structures. The assembly halls must be characterized by being defined spaces and self-contained, multi-functional instruments of organisation; where the organisation of workers and day-to-day social, educational, cultural and political activities took place. The labour movement was a global cultural phenomenon that manifested differently locally in various countries and it is this diversity that we would like to nominate. With the call for buildings, we hope that people around the world will get in contact with us if they know of a workers’ assembly hall that might be able to take part in the transnational serial nomination for UNESCO or take part in a global network of labour movement monuments.

For more information, visit the Workers Museum website.

5. [NEW ITEM] Stained glass windows – seeking assistance with provenance

The owners of the Avoca Beach Theatre are embarking on an expansion of the theatre and have procured two stained glass windows without provenance. These windows will feature prominently in the expanded building and they would like to be able to record with some accuracy the nature and history of these windows.

All that is known of the two windows is as follows:

  • Window with St Andrew’s Cross (?) – purchased in Sydney from a building recycler, who obtained it from a ‘shed’ in Eastern Sydney near the St Vincents Hospital Randwick, but understood that is had been removed from a church (above left image)
  • Window dedicated to Fredrick Farrell – purchased from a private home in Morpeth in the Hunter Valley where it had been installed, though very likely originally from a church (above right image)

Anyone who can provide some assistance with this matter please contact Norman Hunter by email.

CY O’Connor Lecture, 27 May, Perth

Rebuilding community resilience and cultural connections 
Presented by Ben Wyatt, former WA Treasurer and Minister for Aboriginal Affairs

While public infrastructure, such as the Goldfields Water Supply Scheme, has been hugely important to our state’s economic development, it has also had a wide-scale, ongoing impact on Aboriginal people and their culture. In recent years, the legal recognition of Aboriginal people’s inherent rights has resulted in significant changes in the relationship between traditional owners and the State of Western Australia.

Come and hear from Ben Wyatt as he discusses how these rights have ensured the inclusion of Aboriginal people and played a vital role in rebuilding community resilience, economic independence and social and cultural connections.

We look forward to you joining us at this thought-provoking event.

EVENT DETAILS

Thursday 27 May 2021
5.45pm for a 6.00pm start
Perth Town Hall, 601 Hay St, Perth
Cost: Adult $20, Concession $15, NTWA Members/Volunteers $15. Plus booking fees.

M/C Journal Special Issue: ‘Design’ | call for papers – deadline: 11 June 2021

‘design’

Between its broader sense of intent and that of making a drawing or plan, design appears to be expanding in both meaning and its application. Design is well understood when related to our material culture, where the medium often bears the imprint of the designer/s. Design has moved relatively seamlessly from the physical into the digital world. It makes sense that someone designs the applications that we use and that digital content, just as much as a poster, requires design. Design activities are rarely inseparable from a market economy, but the language of design has infiltrated business more broadly.

World Monuments Fund/Knoll Modernism Prize – nominations close 15 June

Forward-thinking. Experimental. Bold. Progressive. Innovative. Once recognized for these defining characteristics, significant modern structures around the world often fall victim to material deterioration, perceived obsolescence, and public apathy. As many of these modern buildings are too young to qualify for landmark designation and protection, the need for preservation and increased public awareness of these unique resources is urgent.

In 2008, World Monuments Fund (WMF) launched the biennial World Monuments Fund/Knoll Modernism Prize with founding sponsor Knoll to celebrate preservation success stories in buildings that are emblematic of the modern movement.

The prize honors contemporary architects, preservationists, planners, and community leaders who have implemented a physical intervention to preserve a threatened modern building or complex. Nominated projects must have been completed in the last ten years, and the site must have faced challenges or threats before it was preserved.

Nominations are now open for the World Monuments Fund/Knoll Modernism Prize until 15 June 2021.

Seaplanes on Lake Burley Griffin – public consultation invited by 22 June

The National Capital Authority (NCA) has released for public consultation a Discussion Paper concerning possible seaplane operations on Lake Burley Griffin (the Lake).

The NCA is established under the Australian Capital Territory (Planning and Land Management) Act 1999. The agency manages the Australian Government’s continuing interest in the planning, development and enhancement of Canberra as the National Capital. In performing its functions under the PALM Act and other relevant legislation, the NCA manages the Lake and is responsible for licensing commercial activities.

The Discussion Paper has been prepared to encourage feedback from the community and stakeholders. Community consultation will provide valuable feedback to ensure that the potential impacts of the activity on the Lake and other lake users, as well as the benefits that the seaplane activity may bring to Canberra, are fully understood. The National Capital belongs to all Australians, and the NCA seeks to understand and reflect a broader, national perspective about activities in Canberra.

More information is available at the National Capital Authority website.

The NCA welcomes feedback by close of business on 22 June 2021.
