About this session:

Heritage is at risk of major socio-economic, cultural, political and environmental challenges. As much as heritage is at risk of major challenges many of which are unpredicted as the Covid-19 pandemic evidently showed, heritage can also be a significant catalyst for socio-economic, cultural and environmental resilience. Heritage can contribute actively to many of the Sustainable Development Goals agreed by the United Nations in 2016. To this end, there is a series of critical questions that emerge and which the conference aims to explore. On a conceptual level, should we rethink concepts linked to 鈥榬isk鈥�, 鈥榬esilience鈥� and 鈥榰ncertainty鈥�? How can recent and current challenges contribute to the reconceptualization of 鈥榬isk鈥� and 鈥榬esilience鈥� in the context of heritage? What is missing from current approaches to heritage and risk? What are the implications in practice of current approaches to risk and resilience in heritage contexts?

About this session:

Increasingly, heritage professionals are being challenged by modern and contemporary heritage such as plastic museum artefacts, Brutalist architecture and the technologies, philosophies and movements that have shaped the modern world. The conservation of this heritage is crucial in order to understand its impact on modern society, for example its environmental impact. How do we value the tangible and intangible aspects of modern and contemporary heritage? How can we better understand the properties of modern and contemporary heritage materials, including their composition, fabrication and assembly methods, use and decay mechanisms? What evidence-based conservation strategies do we need for the storage and display of modern museum objects and repair, maintenance and replacement of components of modern buildings? Can traditional ethical frameworks be applied to the conservation of such materials, or do they need to be adapted? What about modern and contemporary heritage that has a more complex relationship with materials such as time-based media?

• Marco Leona (Metropolitan Museum of Art, USA)

About this session:

When the scientific method is used to study heritage, we are doing heritage science. However, what makes heritage science different from other branches of science? The complexity of cultural heritage as a focus of study usually pushes existing technologies beyond their limits, driving new scientific developments. We invite submissions that show how knowledge and techniques from other disciplines are transformed when they are used in heritage science. Data-driven approaches, for example, often need to be improved to deal with unstructured and complex historic data. Engineering solutions need to operate within the constraints of historic sites, which may be remote, protected, busy, fragile鈥� Physical sciences need the social sciences, because understanding the human relationships with heritage is essential to understand deterioration or change. When does science become 鈥渉eritage science鈥�? This theme could usefully build on the Strategic Framework for Heritage Science for the UK, 2018-2023.

• Dan Hicks (University of Oxford, UK)
• Stephen Witherford (Witherford Watson Mann architects, London, UK)

About this session:

As novel materials and technologies emerge, as new patterns of consumption and production develop, and as what is valued changes within society, the nature of heritage will evolve, and in doing so, the capacity of heritage to support future societies in their response to planetary challenges will change as well. What new forms of heritage might be anticipated? What new challenges might they present for heritage science and management? What resources can heritage offer that support people to accept and live through change? How might heritage contribute to, critique, and enrich the development of positive future imaginaries? What different roles might heritage play in future society?

Citizen Science & Cultural Heritage -听Planning for success.

Workshop organised with听Social Sciences & Humanities Open Cloud (SSHOC)

Speakers:

Rosie Brigham (果冻影院 Institute for Sustainable Heritage)
Josep Grau-Bove听(果冻影院 Institute for Sustainable Heritage)

Digitising museum objects using basic photogrammetry

Workshop organised with听Social Sciences & Humanities Open Cloud (SSHOC)
Thursday听25 March, 1-2pm GMT

Speakers:

Kira Zumkley (Association for Historical and Fine Art Photography and 果冻影院听Centre for Digital Humanities)
Adam Gibson听(果冻影院 Institute for Sustainable Heritage)

About the session

This workshop will introduce participants to the field of imaging applications in the study and management of heritage. The focus will be paced on developing skills for the use of photogrammetry in heritage. It will look at the process of creating a 3D model of a museum object from start to finish using basic photogrammetry equipment. As such, workshop participants will gain insight into the photogrammetric process, understand what is achievable with basic equipment and become more aware of the requirements 3D digitsation of museum objects entails and how these might differ from every day objects.

Kira Zumkley has been working in the heritage sector for over 10 years both as an archaeologist, photographer, and researcher. She is the Chair of the Association for Historical and Fine Art Photography and Honorary Lecturer at the Centre for Digital Humanities at 果冻影院. In addition, she is currently working as a researcher on a joint project between the Victoria and Albert Museum, University of Brighton and 果冻影院. Prior to moving into academia, Kira worked as the photography manager at the Science Museum Group and carried out her own creative photography practices focusing on the contrasting experiences of urban and natural spaces.

Adam Gibson is Professor of Heritage Science at the 果冻影院 Institute for Sustainable Heritage. His group applies imaging techniques to aspects of heritage, predominantly multispectral and hyperspectral imaging. His work has looked, among other things, at painting analysis and feature recovery in historical documents.
