MoHoA - Modern Heritage in the Anthropocene

本申请旨在为来自全球南方的MoHoA合作伙伴和附属机构的两次专家会议和其他参与性活动提供支持，以配合并使他们能够参加由利物浦大学建筑学院巴特利特建筑学院（UCL）组织的题为“现代遗产与人类世”的MoHoA会议，和开普敦大学。这两次专家会议将在会议之前和之后立即举行，以利用和最大限度地利用这一雄心勃勃的一次性活动所提供的机会。结合相关的英国实地考察和会议，专家会议将提供一个独特而及时的机会，将学者，从业人员和其他相关专业人员以及来自不同学科的利益相关者聚集在一起，以加强参与非殖民化，分散和重新构建现代遗产的全球研究网络，并为完成开普敦现代遗产文件做出贡献。这份开创性文件将在会议结束后于2022年10月29日举行的第二次专家会议上正式提交给教科文组织。研究网络活动将在两次为期一天的专家会议期间举行，讨论与MoHoA议程有关的具体专题，包括完成开普敦现代遗产文件，以及对联合王国伙伴机构的具体实地访问/图尔斯参观。该应用程序将允许来自全球南方的最多12个国际合作伙伴与广泛的英国参与者，专业人士和组织进行有意义的互动，包括大学，博物馆，画廊，国家信托基金以及历史悠久的英格兰，苏格兰和威尔士。这一过程将被记录在一本编辑的开放式书籍中，并与MoHoA更广泛的活动一起汇编成一系列免费提供的教学材料，放在MoHoA的网站上。MoHoA的概念恰逢教科文组织、国际古迹遗址理事会和DOCOMOMO于2001年联合发起的现代遗产计划20周年。提供了一个及时和重要的机会，以反思变革性的文化经验和不久前的全球后果，预示着人类世的曙光及其对社会，文化，气候的影响，还有地球自成立以来，MoHoA成功地吸引了离散活动的资金，并建立了一个强大的研究网络，与非洲世界遗产基金（AWHF），教科文组织，国际古迹遗址理事会，国际文物保护与修复研究中心，世界自然保护联盟，斯瓦希里波特东非遗产中心和盖蒂保护研究所等主要合作伙伴一起参加了四个主题研讨会，吸引了数百名参与者。本集团亦于二零二一年九月在开普敦大学举办国际（网上）会议，发表超过50篇论文。出于两个原因，MoHoA的初始阶段是在非洲框架内构想的。首先，非洲大陆被传统话语中的“现代”概念化所边缘化。（非洲只有89个联合国教科文组织世界文化遗产（少于意大利和西班牙的总和），而欧洲有439个，其中只有一个被列为“现代遗产”-阿斯马拉：一个现代主义的非洲城市，前意大利殖民城市和厄立特里亚首都）。其次，非洲将在未来30年内经历最高的城市化速度。因此，我们最近的历史遗产具有现代性的悖论，但其后果却对其存在构成威胁。与这种悖论相关的各种问题，从生态危机到结构性种族主义，以及他们对研究，定义，保护和赋予“现代”价值的教训，将成为2022年10月在伦敦大学学院举行的MoHoA会议的重点，以及本申请中概述的活动。如果成功，这种合作将在一代人以上的时间里为分散遗产理论和实践做出最重要的贡献。

This application seeks support for two expert meetings and other participatory events for MoHoA partners and affiliates from the Global South to coincide with and enable their attendance at the MoHoA conference titled 'Modern Heritage and the Anthropocene', organised by The Bartlett School of Architecture (UCL), The School of Architecture at Liverpool University, and the University of Cape Town.The two expert meetings will be held immediately before and after the conference to capitalise on and maximise the opportunities afforded by such an ambitious one-off event. Combined with associated UK site visits and meetings, the expert meetings will provide a unique and timely opportunity to bring together academics, practitioners, and other related professionals and stakeholders from different disciplines to strengthen global research networks engaged with decolonising, decentring, and reframing modern heritage and contribute to the completion of the Cape Town Document on Modern Heritage. This seminal document will be formally presentation to UNESCO after the conference at the second expert meeting on 29 October 2022. Research networking activities will take place during two one-day expert meetings addressing specific topics related to MoHoA's agenda including the finalisation of the Cape Town Document on Modern Heritage, as well as specific site visits / tours of partner institutions in the UK. This application will allow up to 12 international partners from the Global South to engage meaningfully with a wide range of UK participants, professionals, and organisations, including universities, museums, galleries, National Trust, and Historic England, Scotland and Wales. This process will be documented in an edited open-access book and, together with MoHoA's wider activities, compiled into a series of freely available teaching materials on MoHoA's website.MoHoA's conception coincided with the 20th anniversary of the Modern Heritage Programme, jointly initiated by UNESCO, ICOMOS, and DOCOMOMO in 2001, presenting a timely and important opportunity to reflect on the transformative cultural experiences and global consequences of the recent past that heralded the dawn of the Anthropocene and its impacts on society, culture, climate, and the planet. Since its inception, MoHoA has successfully attracted funding for discrete activities and developed a strong research network that engaged hundreds of participants across four thematic workshops with key partners including the Africa World Heritage Fund (AWHF), UNESCO, ICOMOS, ICCROM, IUCN, the Swahilipot East Africa Heritage Hub and the Getty Conservation Institute. It also hosted an international (online) conference at the University of Cape Town in Sept 2021 with over 50 papers presented. The initial phase of MoHoA was conceived within an African frame for two reasons. Firstly, the continent has been uniquely marginalised by current conceptualisations of 'modern' within heritage discourses. (Africa has just 89 cultural UNESCO World Heritage sites (less than Italy and Spain combined), compared with Europe's 439, and only one of these is exclusively categorised as 'modern heritage' - Asmara: A Modernist African City, the former Italian colonial city and capital of Eritrea). Secondly, Africa will experience the highest rates of urbanisation over the next 30 years. The heritage of our recent past therefore possesses the paradox of being of modernity and yet existentially threatened by its consequences. The diverse issues associated with this paradox, from ecological crisis to structural racism, and their lessons for researching, defining, protecting, and ascribing value to 'the modern', will be the focus of the MoHoA conference at UCL in Oct 2022 and the activities outlined in this application. If successful, this collaboration will make one of the most significant contributions to decentring heritage theory and practice in more than a generation.
