Event Description : "Translocal Governance of Heritage: Transporting Time to Spaces" a talk by Aman Nath  as part of LILA PRISM lecture series.

Abstract: Aman Nath, in the lecture ‘Translocal Governance of Heritage’, discusses how restoring ruined architectures would mean transporting a space which belonged to a past, back to itself – but with several differences. This process of conservation provides a new and relevant context to a heritage that was nearly ruined. It brings to many Indian villages, which are cosmologically wiser, the fruits of liberal education and a translocal exposure. This mixture of times past and present, of the rural and the urban, irons out the time warp and puts people more smoothly through the Indian time machine.

Aman Nath is a historian by education and the co-author of fourteen illustrated books on art, history, architecture, corporate biography and photography, two of which have won National Awards. Changing Skylines, his latest book, is a corporate and family history of the Shapoorji Pallonji group, one of India’s largest building conglomerates. Aman Nath is involved in the restoration of India’s unlisted architectural ruins, now run as the 28 Neemrana ‘non-hotel’ Hotels, which have won awards from UNESCO, the Indian travel trade industry and National Awards. He was also the curator of Art Today, the gallery of India Today. As an inveterate traveler, he regularly contributes to travel magazines.

Ratish Nanda will chair the lecture and moderate the discussion. Ratish Nanda heads the Aga Khan Trust for Culture in India, and as such leads a multi-disciplinary team responsible for the Nizamuddin Urban Renewal Initiative and the Conservation and Landscape restoration programme at the Qutb Shahi Heritage Park in Hyderabad. Ratish is a conservation architect by training and has earlier been responsible for the Baghe Babur Restoration in Kabul, Afghanistan for AKTC and numerous projects for INTACH. He has served on several government panels including as a member of the Delhi Urban Art Commission and the Ministry of Culture’s Advisory Committee on World Heritage Matters. Awards received by him include the Eisenhower Fellowship, Charles Wallace Conservation Fellowship, amongst others.
