PRESS NOTES

Silently away from the blares of media it is but an inconvenient truth of the so-called largest democracy of the world. 9\11 is the day of the year 1958 when the Armed Forces Special Power Act (AFSPA) was signed into a law by his Excellency the President of India, the most draconian and undemocratic legislation enacted by the Indian Parliament. Since then, without any break and judicial review, the black law has been in force in the region. The fact that the ‘right to life’ enshrined in the constitution is not a privilege of all may come as a surprise to many. It was an attack on democracy. While very few civil society organizations and individuals in Delhi has come forward to show solidarity to Irom’s cause, not many have joined her cry of repeal of AFSPA. The need to observe the 9/11 is to initiate discussions around such inconvenient truths. Let’s join the black day observation against the Draconian law, at Arts Faculty, Delhi University, on 9/11/2011 from 11am to 4pm. It is organized to support the world longest fast by Irom Sharmila and the cause to repeal AFSPA. Planning meeting of the worldwide protest on 5 November 2011 as Irom Sharmila is completing 11 years of fast will also be held during the observation. All the people from sections of societies are invited to join the observation.

Cultural Heritage:

Anything that relates culture and has been handed over to us by our predecessors. It can be Tangible or Intangible.

Tangible Heritage refers to those examples that possess a physical form i.e. objects that could be seen and touched by us. E.g. sculptures,monuments, paintings, archaeological tools and implements, etc.
Intangible Heritage refers to that part of culture that cannot be touched as they do not have a physical form, e.g. music, dance, etc.

Q. Why to safeguard the Cultural Property?

– Every object of art has a message for the present and future generation.

Cultural property has following values attached to it:-
1.Aesthetic value

2.Historic value

3.National value

4.Scientific or research value

What is Heritage-Conservation?

Prevention is better than cure

Conservation as we know it today is a complex activity. Since the nineteenth century, it has broadened in scope, strengthened in importance and, simply
speaking, come of age. It has not always been in this way; just a few decades ago before that, it did not even exist-it did not exist as we know it: as a
particular activity, requiring special, well-trained skills, which are different from those of the artist, the carpenter or the sculptor.

Terms and Definitions:

Heritage Conservation: It is a profession devoted to the preservation of cultural heritage for the future. Conservation activities include examination, documentation, treatment, and preventive care.
Examination: It is the foremost step in Conservation of any art objects. It may be of simple visual examination using hand lens, mechanical examination using sable-hair brushes and scientific examination using Spectrometer, XRF, etc.
Documentation: It is one of the most important steps in Conservation. It is the records which comprises of history, condition of the object when found, treatment to be given etc. It is an ongoing process till all the treatments will be carried out.
Treatment: If an object has inherent vice, preventive measures may not be enough to reduce the rate of deterioration to a tolerable level. An acceptable treatment can prolong the life of an object. When an object becomes extremely fragile from deteriorating factors, appropriate treatment is a must to increase its stability and durability.
Preservation: It is the act of keeping safe or free from further harm or decay of the objects displayed in the Museum or stored in the storage by following any indigenous methods (e.g. Wrapping the Manuscript with red clothes and using neem, tobacco leaves as insect repellents) or chemical methods (e.g. Using Silica gel as Humidifier).
Restoration: There is a misconception that Conservation and Restoration are essentially the same things. Restoration can be simply defined as the act of repairing or trying to bring back to a former position or condition of the object or artefacts adopting different conservative norms. The difference? In a nutshell, Conservation is preservation while Restoration is repair.
Preventive Care: As most of the Cultural works are sensitive to environmental conditions such as temperature, humidity and exposure to light and UV light, they must be protected in a controlled environment where such variables are maintained within a range of damage-limiting levels. And it is always true that “Prevention is better than cure”, so the preventive cares is of extreme importance for preserving and checking any possible further harmful effects to the objects or artefacts.
