Safeguarding Intangible Heritage – Asian Australian Perspectives

Many of these communities are now represented within our multicultural Australia. So the question remains, how do we as Australians acknowledge and engage with the intangible heritage of so many rich cultures? How do we also recognise the fi rst Australians, our indigenous peoples, and refl ect in our sense of place the complexity of both the original culture and subsequent cultures? Are we doing enough to safeguard the intangible heritage values that enrich, engage and challenge the

Australian ethos and which so extend the possibilities of our expressions?

Looking at transformations over time, Amar will refl ect on this fascinating topic through his fi rst voice as an IndoAustralian. In doing so, he will remind us of the North Terrace forum he attended in Adelaide that put arts and culture into the landmark National Agenda for a Multicultural Australia, launched in 1989 by the Prime Minister of the day, the Hon Bob Hawke AC.

Intangible heritage Intangible heritage encompasses encompasses the expressions the expressions and traditions of and traditions of communities across communities across the world, inherited the world, inherited from ancestors from ancestors and transmitted to and transmitted to descendants, often descendants, often through the through the spoken word. spoken word.

C a m b o d i a S u n R i s i n gYOUNG CAMBODIANS CREATE A HOPEFUL FUTURE THROUGH ART

Almost two million Cambodians were slaughtered during a four year reign of terror, when this small nation turned on its own people. Its educators, artists, doctors and all history were eliminated, leaving behind only misery and hardship.

In 1993 the Australia Cambodia Foundation was founded by Geraldine Cox. Small acts of generosity evolved into a larger project and in 2000 there was a name change to Sunrise Children’s Village conjuring up visions of a fresh beginning for the orphans and disadvantaged children of Cambodia.

The young performers from the Sunrise Children’s Village re-tell the story of Cambodia, intertwined with their own stories. They herald a new dawn emerging from the devastation of the past.

In Cambodia 1975, the In Cambodia 1975, the dreaded Khmer Rouge dreaded Khmer Rouge despot, Pol Pot declared despot, Pol Pot declared the Year Zero – history the Year Zero – history would begin from this would begin from this moment.moment.

Performers from the Sunrise Children’s Village

Through the exquisite classical Apsara dances and music performed in the royal courts of Cambodia in the glory days of Angkor Wat, to life in the twenty fi rst century, the young performers create an exciting fusion of classical Khmer and contemporary western dance and music. Cambodia Sun Rising is a dazzling and moving show that shares the culture, superstitions, everyday life, hope and optimism of the children as they become part of a new sun rising from the darkness of the past.

Uncharted Seas Timeless

Dance CompanyA d i t i M a n g a l d a sKathak, one of the eight forms of Indian classical dances, loosely translates as ‘the art of storytelling’ and features hypnotically intricate footwork, high energy pirouettes and complex rhythmic patterns of beats.

In the fi rst part of the double bill, Uncharted Seas takes you to the heart of classical Kathak. Dancers weave in and out of the shadows with grace, poise and a stunning sense of rhythm. The search for the intangible, for God, truth, beauty, love and freedom, is at its essence. Dressed in traditional

costumes, the sounds of the ghunghroo (ankle bells) meld with the live music, creating a distinct percussive beat that adds a unique fl avour to every performance.

The second piece, Timeless moves furthest from the classical Kathak roots of the company. Entrancing, distinctive and exhilarating, Timeless utilises a totally new contemporary movement vocabulary and Mangaldas’ choreography draws you into a compelling and many textured abstract world.

To do this, they must journey to the point where two bullet trains pass, and in the mythology of kids, generate enough energy to create miracles.

FEARLESS NADIA in DIAMOND QUEEN

Throughout the 1930s and 40s Mary Evans, aka Fearless Nadia, starred in almost a dozen gloriously over-the-top Indian action adventures. Behind Nadia’s daredevil stunts lay revolutionary messages of female emancipation, anti-colonial sentiment and the ultimate triumph of good over evil – messages that underpinned India’s turbulent transition to independence. Diamond Queen is a highly entertaining feminist adventure, slick for its time and featuring some of early Indian cinema’s most impressive stunt action.

Contemporary Portraiture from Asia

B e y o n d t h e S e l fBeyond the Self: Contemporary Portraiture explores the representation of the self in current South and Southeast Asian visual art practice. The contemporary world for these artists is one of increased global awareness, mobility and altered economic and technological possibilities. This provides the impetus to use self-portraiture to navigate between new and existing cultural boundaries, and challenge traditional positioning of identity.

Bringing together painting, photography, sculpture, drawing, installation and media works, the exhibition looks at the transformative possibility of portraiture through art from the early 2000s to the present, created by artists from Indonesia, India, Pakistan, Malaysia, Thailand and the Philippines.

Public Lecture

Democracy, Chinese Style

Preparing Australiansfor the Asian Century

Panel Discussion

PARTICIPATION versus THE MASS LINE

32

Adelaide Festival Centre and The Confucius Institute, University of Adelaide present

What about a concept of democracy in which the public has a say in decision making? In this forum, Professor Wang puts forward that China has practiced such a form as embodied in the term mass-line (qunzhong luxian in Chinese). This concept, or qunticipation, advocates that decision-makers must get outside the door of power and must seek opinion “from the masses”, so as to make decisions that apply “to the masses”. This talk will discuss key differences between the two concepts and their respective pros and cons.
