Bali Art & Heritage Conservation Internship Program #BAHCIP

Project leader: Mr. Saiful Bakhri

Level of education and university: Master, University of Melbourne

Collaborating Organisations: Museum Puri Lukisan, Ubud

Project Location: Bali; DKI Jakarta

Activity Type: Capacity building, mentoring or coaching

Sector: Education and Training

Project Rationale:

Indonesia, as the world’s largest archipelago, has an exceptionally diverse culture which in turn has resulted in many varieties of cultural heritage and materials. However, Indonesia lacks conservation professionals—very few cultural workers responsible for preserving Indonesian culture have pursued a degree in conservation as there isn’t a cultural materials conservation program offered in Indonesia.

Conservation as a profession is not common in Indonesia. In general, the country still lacks human resources needed for the conservation of art and cultural heritage.

There is an urgent and pressing need for greater professionalism in the cultural heritage sector in Indonesia. Geographically subject to recurrent seismic activity and with a growing population audited at 270 million in 2019 (World Population Review 2019), preserving cultural heritage is of vital importance. Trained conservation professionals will help ensure the survival of objects and cultural heritage sites subject to the ‘continuity of practice’ that occurs within ‘living cultures,’ whereby objects/sites are used by the community for daily rituals/purposes and are preserved historically for both the Indonesian people and tourists, as cultural heritage tourism plays a significant role in the Indonesian economy.

Project Beneficiaries:

Priority Development Area:

Human development for a productive and healthy society
