The beautiful Portuguese Church in a new light

The beautiful Portuguese Church in a new light

There’s no better time to have a look at the newly restored St Joseph Church than during the Singapore Night Festival. Beautifully illuminated for the festival, the church, which in my opinion is one of the most beautiful churches in Singapore, is quite a sight to behold. What is especially wonderful during the night festival is that the church has been opened to the public for heritage tours and…

Many many years ago I used to work at Stonehenge and I wanna respond to two of the biggest complaints people have about it:

1. Why can't we touch the stones/we should be allowed to touch the stones

I understand your frustration, I really do, but the Stones just can't handle it (pun intended). In the summer you can get a million visitors in a day! Think about how many people that is in a year - they were eroding rapidly in the 70s and there were far fewer tourists then. We want to preserve the stones as much as possible and to do so, we have to have them roped off.

There are loads of sites where you can touch standing stones, I'd just implore you to be gentle with them. Please don't pick off lichen or graffiti them

2. It's so expensive/it shouldn't be so expensive

I also really understand this, it can be prohibitively expensive for a lot of people! You can absolutely get pretty close to the Stones without having to pay if you park at Larkhill and then walk down - it's about 15-20 minutes to walk.

The reason why it's so expensive isn't money grabbing (Historic England is a charity so has to publish a report on its earnings and the wages they pay). It's because it's one of the few sites that actually makes any money at all. Historic England is incredibly poorly funded by the government and maintaining heritage sites is hugely expensive. A 200 year old house in good condition costs thousands of pounds to maintain a year, 600 year old houses in poor condition costs millions. Historic England doesn't just maintain heritage sites, but also produces archaeological guidelines, is involved in conservation in general and has huge outreach projects. It sucks that Stonehenge is so expensive, but it is absolutely necessary (absolutely blame the Tories for this).

If you're local you can get into Stonehenge for free - double check if you fall within this area, but it's pretty broad!

Last week the nonprofit Heritage for Peace published its findings on the state of Sudan’s cultural heritage in the midst of a civil war that began on April 15.

The report was put together by the nonprofit and Sudanese cultural workers and volunteers working with Heritage for Peace’s Sudan Heritage Protection Initiative. Researchers combed through evidence gathered by civilians, military organizations, and cultural workers and circulated on social media. The report shows that many museums, cultural centers and research centers have been looted, destroyed, or co-opted as a military base.

Lifelong learning and non-formal education : cultivating learning opportunities for all.

Museums, cities, communities, cultural venues, artists, heritage sites and traditional bearers are just a handful of players furthering culture and arts education in and out of schools, including through place-based learning. Recognizing non-formal and informal learning is important for reimagining education and for making lifelong learning a reality for all.

C H Malan’s Tanglin Oval, a legacy ruined

The invasion of futsal cages across the so-called Tanglin Oval is quite a horrifying sight. Surely, the old Tanglin Barracks cricket ground deserves better, having had a place in history as Singapore’s very first dedicated military sporting ground. Set up by the soldiers of the barracks in 1870, the ground represents the commitment of their commander, Major Charles Hamilton Malan, to maintaining…

Shibam - This ~1,700-year-old walled city in Yemen is considered to be the oldest vertically constructed city in the world. Its trapezoidal buildings (most were built in the 16th century) are made of mud bricks and need constant maintenance due to rain and wind erosion.

In the weeks since Hamas' Oct. 7 attack, Israeli airstrikes on the Gaza Strip have killed more than 15,000 Palestinians, according to Gaza's health ministry, and destroyed thousands of homes in the territory.

And there have also been tremendous losses to the region's ancient and globally significant cultural heritage. The region was a hub for commerce and culture under Egyptian, Greek, Roman and Byzantine rule. It remained influential for centuries thereafter.

A recent survey by the group Heritage for Peace details the damage done so far to more than 100 of these landmarks in Gaza since the start of the present conflict.

The casualties include the Great Omari Mosque, one of the most important and ancient mosques in historical Palestine; the Church of Saint Porphyrius, thought to be the third oldest church in the entire world; a 2,000-year-old Roman cemetery in northern Gaza excavated only last year; and the Rafah Museum, a space in southern Gaza which was dedicated to teaching about the territory's long and multi-layered heritage — until it was hammered by airstrikes early on in the conflict. (...)

"If this heritage be no more in Gaza, it will be a big loss of the identity of the people in Gaza," said Isber Sabrine, president of Heritage for Peace, in an interview with NPR. (...)

"The people in Gaza, they have the right to keep and to save this heritage, to tell the history, the importance of this land," he said.

The 1954 Hague Convention, agreed to by Palestinians and Israelis, is supposed to safeguard landmarks from the ravages of war. But landmarks in Gaza have been destroyed by Israeli strikes in earlier rounds of fighting. Dozens of sites, including the now-obliterated Great Omari Mosque, suffered damage in 2014. A report by UNESCO, the United Nations body that designates and protects World Heritage sites, cites further destruction to cultural and historic sites in Gaza in 2021. (...)

Destruction of historical sites and other cultural sites is part of genocide, it's the destruction of the proof of a people's relationship to the land and a horrible emotional blow at the community. UNESCO must act immediately against Israel's destruction of Palestinian heritage, and every country and international organism must expel Israel and impose sanctions to make the genocide and apartheid end.
