2. [NEW ITEM] ACT Region Heritage Symposium 2021, 7 August, Canberra – register by 4 August

ACT Region Heritage Symposium 2021: Heritage at Times of Crisis: Saving, Sustaining, Sharing
7 August 2021 | ANU Acton Campus

In a Land of Fires, Droughts and Flooding Rains, and now Climate Change, and a health pandemic,
what role at such times has a community’s heritage in maintaining its sense of place, of belonging, and continuity?

In this year’s Symposium, we will explore this question with a series of papers addressing examples of problems and solutions: case studies that assist us in dealing with such crises and change, including being locked down or out during a pandemic. Does our heritage assist us? We look to gain a wider understanding of how heritage can support us at such difficult times.

For more information and to register, see the ACT Heritage Symposium Registration Flyer 2021.

Registrations close 4 August.

Join us for Webinar 1 in the Caring For Country Webinar Series rescheduled to 4 August 2021. This webinar series has been organized by the Caring For Country Committee, a Working Group of Australia ICOMOS with members from Australia ICOMOS, ICOMOS New Zealand, ICOMOS Pasifika and Non-ICOMOS members from Oceania.

‘Oceania Wisdom for a Climate Chance’ brings together a group of distinguished First Nations Australians, Ni Vanuatu, and Australian South Sea Islanders, who will present their insights on the impacts of climate change on their respective domains of land and water and the Indigenous responses to these.

Co-ordinated by (Waskam) Emelda Davis, Dr Anne Poelina and Dr Marie Geissler, it highlights the ‘climate chance’ that now exists, as a window of opportunity for governments and outside agencies seeking sustainable and long-term solutions from the impacts of climate change, to work alongside First Nations people. Through this process they will be informed of the ancient wisdom traditions and intimate knowledge of lands and their interconnected biospheres and seasons that First Nations peoples hold. This knowledge draws on thousands of years of successful natural resources management of country by First Nations peoples, where practices for land stewardship are highly individualized and responsive to the different circumstances of each habitat. Elders to speak include Aunty Shireen Malamoo, (Waskam) Emelda Davis, Dr Anne Poelina, Uncle Ben Harry, Pastor Ray Minniecon and Samson Vivil Fare. Dr Marie Geissler will give the introduction to the webinar.

ACAHUCH Symposium 2021, 25-26 November, Uni of Melb – call for papers deadline: 23 July

ACAHUCH Symposium 2021: Navigating Encounters and Exchanges
The University of Melbourne
25-26 November 2021

Key Dates

Submission of abstracts deadline: 23 July 2021

Registration opens: 17 September 2021

Symposium (Japanese Room TBC): 25-26 November 2021

Final papers due (for publication): 11 February 2022

Buildings for industry, agriculture and trade in Australia, the Pacific and South-East Asia share an important but forgotten history of encounter, exchange, and influence. Industrial heritage is also under-represented in World Heritage lists, with the Asia Pacific region poorly represented and global connections between industrial sites insufficiently understood (Falser & Yang, 2001). This symposium addresses these research gaps by providing a forum for academics, archivists and heritage practitioners to share their examinations of unprecedented buildings for trade and industrial-scale resource extraction across Asia-Pacific’s multiple colonial entities and their successor nation-states.

The one-day symposium will feature international and local keynote speakers as well as panel discussions that explore flows and connections of commodity, craft, labour and expertise between sites and communities across Asia Pacific from 1800s – 1950s and beyond. We invite:

  • research on the infrastructure built by transnational companies and commercial enterprises and their construction of facilities for industrial agriculture, aquaculture, trade and tourism
  • identification and exploration of traces and sites of encounter between colonial enterprises and indigenous societies, and between migrant labour and its hosts
  • considerations of the post-colonial afterlife of these places, their continued use, and reinterpretation as heritage places today

For more information, visit the Australian Centre for Architectural History, Urban and Cultural Heritage (ACAHUCH) website and see the call for papers.
