#conservationrestoration — Public Fediverse posts

"The conservation and restoration of negative heritage", an article that Ruth Taberner and I have published, about the problem of preserving (or not) the most contested heritage (in Spanish). #OpenAccess #GeConservación #Article

It is often asked to what extent it makes sense to restore a legacy that is extremely negative and harmful to a significant part of society and that has no other significant values that would provide an incentive for its restoration. In some cases many pieces have been destroyed as Nazi and communist sculptures. In Spain a project was presented to melt down the equestrian sculpture of Franco that was originally in the Plaza de España in Ferrol (La Coruña).

Are you even a #conservator if you haven't scraped old animal glue off a ceramic for an hour this week? (Just kidding. You are.)

Here's my workbench wonder for the week: a #ceramic #bull back to his old self.

Happy weekend, folks!

We've just launched season 13 (woah! you'd think for people who deal with the passage of time in our daily work we'd be less astounded by how long we've been making this #podcast) and our first episode is all about #CommunityBuilding online and what that looks like for #conservators and people in #CollectionsCare 💜 Where do we congregate, and what makes a #community?
