WA Sundowner talk_Imprints of the past: the role of archaeology in cultural landscape management by Nerdia Moredoundt
2021-04-13 18:00 - 20:00 | Western Australia
The Australian Association of Consulting Archaeologists Inc. (AACAI) WA Chapter and the Anthropological Society of WA (ASWA) are pleased to present a sundowner talk on cultural landscapes by Nerdia Moredoundt. Details below and on the attached flyer:
Date: Tuesday 13 April 2021
Time: 6pm sharp
Where: The Left Bank, 15 Riverside Road, East Fremantle – upstairs at The River Bar
Title: Imprints of the past: the role of archaeology in cultural landscape management
Biography: Nerida Moredoundt is an architect, author and artist with over 25 years’ experience in heritage, conservation and interpretation. She is the Principal Architect at element, a multidisciplinary consultancy in the fields of planning, heritage, arts and culture, engagement, place and design. She is also a member of the Heritage Council of WA and a heritage specialist on the State Design Review Panel. Nerida has been instrumental in the application of the World Heritage cultural landscapes framework in Western Australia.
Abstract: This presentation looks at the World Heritage framework for identifying and managing cultural landscapes. It includes a discussion of how Australian practitioners have influenced the theory and practice of cultural landscape management and why this framework has been introduced into the management of heritage places in Western Australia. The role of archaeology in the assessment and management of cultural landscapes is an important one that extends beyond understanding values to embedding opportunities for cultural activities on country. Nerida will explore the methodology and outcomes of cultural landscape management plans through a series of case studies. She will introduce the Rottnest Island/Wadjemup cultural landscape management plan, which was the first plan in WA to be underpinned by the provisions of the UNESCO Operational Guidelines for cultural landscapes. This plan has played a pivotal role in advancing reconciliation on the Island and has been followed by a number of similar plans in urban and regional settings.
You will need to book online here:
ASWA/AACAI Member or student: $5
General: $10
Entry fee covers food after the talk – please let me know if you have dietary requirements

GA2020 Scientific Symposium
2020-10-05 | ICC, 14 Darling Dr, Sydney, Australia
The GA2020 Scientific Symposium will be held from 5 to 9 October 2020 at the ICC, Sydney and associated venues. The Scientific Symposium offers a major research, information sharing, training and capacity-building opportunity for delegates, who will be able to present and attend papers, seminars, workshops, site visits and other sessions. Importantly, the Scientific Symposium will provide a significant platform for peer to peer exchanges, instigation of mentoring relationships and showcasing best practice methods. The opportunities for inquiry and learning will be available and accessible from the most senior levels, through participation by outstanding keynote speakers, to entry-level practitioners, who are engaging with international colleagues for the first time.
The overarching theme for the GA2020 Scientific Symposium is ‘Shared Cultures – Shared Heritage – Shared Responsibility’. The theme recognises that globalisation, transnationalism, digital connectivity and the willing or forced movement of people have contributed to the making (and unmaking) of hybrid, pluralist places, practices and collections. In this sense, places, practices, objects and collections (collectively termed ‘heritage items’) are frequently connected with and valued by multiple and diverse groups and communities.
However, the idea of ‘shared’ is intentionally provocative. In an historic sense, cultures and societies have commonly shared cultural practices, ways of doing, and ideas. Nevertheless, in some cases these features have been forced upon populations and resisted rather than collectively adopted (religious beliefs, for example). In other instances knowledge and practice may be closely guarded and thus not shared (in many Indigenous cultures, for example). Additionally, some heritage items have been destroyed or damaged for what they symbolise (the Bamiyan Buddha’s, for example), thus resisting any sense of sharing or ideological tolerance. More typically in the work of heritage, places can be contested with regard to their conservation status (Sydney’s Sirius building, for example).
In adopting the term ‘shared’, the GA2020 Scientific Symposium invites participants to explore the idea of sharing—and its counterpoints, contestation and resistance—in relation to culture and heritage. We invite reviews of traditional thinking on the topic and seek new and diverse perspectives and insights that encourage discussion and dialogue. Contributions may be in the form of case study examples that illustrate different experiences or viewpoints; and academic positions that support, revise, and/or challenge contemporary scholarly work.

AACAI WA CHAPTER & ASWA INVITE YOU TO A CULTURAL HERITAGE SEMINAR
2020-09-15 18:30 - 21:30 | Western Australia
The Path of Pain: UnderstandingTrauma, Acknowledging Truth andEnabling Healing through the Bernierand Dorre Island Lock HospitalHistories

Dr Jade Pervan & Ms Kathleen Musulin
Between 1908 and 1919 over 800 Aboriginal men, women and children “deemed” to have venereal disease were taken from across Western Australia and transported, usually in neck chains, to the Lock Hospitals. The Path of Pain is a community-driven project, which tells the story of the Lock Hospitals tragedy.
The Lock Hospital Working Group (made up of representatives from the Shire of Carnarvon, researchers, community members and direct descendants)initiated a number of culturally appropriate memorials and healing spaces to acknowledge this untold story.
The project showcases best practice in informing future policy on truth telling but also cultural heritage protection and awareness of places, times, settings and landscapes of very traumatic periods in the past.

Space And Governance: Towards A New Topography Of Roman Administration
2020-04-03 | Western Australia
Royal Academy of Spain in Rome (Real Academia de España en Roma)
Piazza San Pietro in Montorio 3
Rome, Italy
Sponsored by: University of Helsinki
The purpose of the conference is to explore the transformation of public space and administrative activities in Republican and Imperial Rome through an interdisciplinary exploration of the topography of power. The emergence of the Roman Republic produced a reorganization of the administrative structures, leading to the emergence of various entities and institutions responsible for the organization and governance of Rome, its civic life and public spaces. In different ways, this spatial model was exported to the colonies with the expansion of the Republic. Throughout the Roman world, building projects created spaces, the topography of the city, for different civic purposes: for the meetings of assemblies, senate meetings, the administration of justice, the public treasury, and the management of the city through different magistracies, offices, and even archives. These administrative spaces –open and closed– characterized the Roman life throughout the Republic and High Empire, until the profound administrative and judicial transformations of the Dominate. This conference aims to study the public and private spaces related to administration through urban development, the existing interrelation between the different administrative bodies, the analysis of the architecture of the spaces already discovered and the study of the written sources. We will try to find an answer to the dilemmas such as where did the administration work? Were there offices and where were they located? Were there social class differences between the different levels of administration?

Conservation Of Architectural Heritage (CAH) 4th Edition-2020
2020-01-31 | Western Australia
In this regard, IEREK organizes the 4th international conference on Conservation of Architectural Heritage (CAH), which will take held on a Nile cruise sailing from Aswan to Luxor, in order to discuss its influence on the characteristics of the environment and an area’s sense of place. It also seeks to increase awareness about the value of conserving the architectural heritage and saving what is left of history.
The conference aims to discuss the potential of architectural heritage conservation in acting as a catalyst for regeneration in areas like tourism and economic development, which in turn helps businesses attract customers. It also discusses the stimulus it can produce in order to inspire new development of imaginative and high-quality design.
It will definitely be a great opportunity for planners, engineers and environmentalists to work together and help conserve the architecture and heritage of a city. On the other hand, they can discuss the challenges that can be faced during the process of conserving the architectural heritage. It will also help provide them with the chance to transfer the importance of heritage preservation to the individuals, communities, and different cities around the world.
Selected papers of the conference will be published in a book series under the title of Advances in Science, Technology, & Innovation (ASTI) by Springer.
Others will be published in the Resourceedings journal by IEREK Press.
