Please join us for a seminar to be given by Dr Tod Jones of Curtin University on "What is an artefact? Resident relationships with Majapahit heritage in Trowulan, Indonesia".
The seminar will take place on Thursday 2nd May from 2-3 pm in St. Mary’s 105. All are welcome to attend.
Abstract: Part of a project to develop approaches that overcome the binaries that have limited heritage research and management, this presentation interrogates resident, official and international museums’ treatment of nationally important Majapahit artefacts in Trowulan, Indonesia. Drawing on a fascinating local history of resident engagement with and knowledge of artefacts, Tod will argue for a broad understanding of what constitutes valuable relationships with artefacts, and ultimately for a reconsideration of the concept of artefact itself.
