CULTURAL HERITAGE AND SHARED KNOWLEDGE
A panel discussion on the concept and use of cultural heritage
Sunday, November 7th, 16h00, De Balie, Kleine-Gartmanplantsoen 10, Amsterdam
The process of defining heritage is filled with power relations. Until recent years the term heritage has been used to refer to buildings, monuments and physical and tangible artefacts. Critics, often from non-Western countries, have called for a greater attention for intangible heritage, which represents their identities more strongly. New strategies that includes local communities within the process of heritage construction are currently being discussed. Cultural heritage as a collective responsibility enables communities to control their future by understanding their past.
The Australian-Netherlands VOC collection makes its final voyage
As part of the ANCODS project the CIE has developed a small exhibition in the Nieuwland Erfgoed Centrum in Lelystad. This exhibition is the final step the ANCODS collection takes before being reunited with its Australian Counterpart in November. Together with the opening on the 15th of September a mutual agreement has been signed by the Australian and the Dutch government.
This exhibition covers the wrecking of four VOC ships at the coast of Australia and the reunification of the ANCODS collection later this year. This initiative has been taken to give the Dutch people the chance to see the ANCODS collection for the last time.
The exhibition will be opened until the 27th of October, just a few days before it will be shipped to Australia. For more information you can visit the website of Nieuwland Erfgoed Centrum at http://www.nieuwlanderfgoed.nl/english
