SUMMARY:Cultural Heritage in Sites and Museums in India: Challenges and Opportunities
DESCRIPTION:Global Heritage at Risk\nUniversity of Michigan Museum Studies Program\nFall 2015 Lecture Series\nSpeaker: Shraddha Bhatawadekar\, Nehru-Fulbright Academic and Professional Excellence Fellow\, Center for South Asian Studies and Museum Studies Program\, University of Michigan\nCo-sponsored by the U-M Center for South Asian Studies \nTerrorism. Looting. Financial crisis. Political factionalism. Unregulated development. Neglect. \nThe news is full of ongoing threats to heritage sites and museums around the globe. In this series\, speakers representing diverse countries examine contemporary threats to museums\, collections\, and historic sites in the Middle East\, Greece\, India\, and the United States. Series speakers will document the many factors fueling the ongoing loss of objects\, monuments\, and historical places and will explore why heritage destruction in distant regions should matter to those of us thousands of miles removed from the most horrific ongoing threats. We also focus closer to home to consider the challenges to heritage preservation in our own backyard. \nBut this is not solely an exercise in despair\, as speakers also examine the ways that international organizations\, national and local governments\, NGOs\, communities\, and individuals are responding to the challenges facing countless museums and heritage sites. The results are new ways of defining the meaning and significance of heritage for local communities\, new strategies for heritage documentation and care\, and new opportunities for us all to become engaged in caring for our own and our world’s irreplaceable cultural heritage. \nThis event will be held in the U-M Museum of Art\, Helmut Stern Auditorium at 6:30 pm.

SUMMARY:Translating the Museum: Multicultural Accessibility at the National Museum of Japanese History
DESCRIPTION:Esther Ladkau (PhD\, History) \nThe National Museum of Japanese History (known as Rekihaku)\, founded in 1983\, is the only national history museum in Japan with government sponsorship.  Its purpose is to represent the whole of the Japanese archipelago’s history and folk cultures.  Since its reconception in 2002\, Rekihaku has aimed to improve accessibility for minority and international visitors through a variety of means.  This presentation discusses some of the methods in use by Rekihaku that open the galleries up to minority and non-Japanese language speakers along with some of the barriers that remain.  Ultimately\, translating museum exhibits for multicultural audiences requires much more than translating words on paper.
