In this MAGS, we welcome postgraduates and early career researchers to submit their papers focusing on the development, breakthroughs of research, and recent discoveries in Maritime Archaeology of the eastern Mediterranean region via interdisciplinary methods. For instance, the exploitation of tools offered by other sciences that can be applied in maritime contexts concerning the preservation and wider communication of the underwater and maritime cultural heritage, excavation and research of submerged sites, wrecks, reconstruction techniques, and so forth. 

Specifically, this symposium aims to explore and promote new methodological approaches and provide a safe, conducive environment for the discussion and research on this gradually developing field.

It is aimed to provide a collaborative and interdisciplinary environment, as well as a platform where emerging researchers can engage in meaningful discussions, share innovative ideas, and form lasting connections of mentors and peers, within the maritime archaeology community.

Antiquities Endowment Fund (AEF) & Research Supporting Members (RSM) Grants

In Funding & Fellowships

 

Applications for ARCE’s 2025-2026 Antiquities Endowment Fund (AEF) & Research Supporting Members (RSM) Grants Are Live

Created with resources from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) as allocated by the U.S. Congress, ARCE’s Antiquities Endowment Fund (AEF) sustains an ongoing grants program to support the conservation, preservation and documentation of Egypt’s cultural heritage and the dissemination of knowledge about that heritage.

ARCE is offering a short-term AEF grant (for up to one year) which is designed for highly focused professional projects who serve the cultural heritage needs of Egyptian antiquities that are more than 100 years old. Projects may include the actual preservation or protection of sites, buildings or objects; the participation of conservators or other suitable specialists in antiquities projects; the training of both conservators and students; or the production of publications and presentations that disseminate knowledge about Egypt’s cultural heritage.

ARCE is also accepting applications for The Archaeological Field Research Grant which is open only to current Research Supporting Members (RSM) of ARCE. The purpose of this program is to provide funding to conduct empirical, archaeological research in Egypt at sites that date from prehistory to 100 years old.

AEF and RSM grants only support direct project costs, indirect costs are not allowable. The budget allows for highly specific expenses to be included. Applications should be denominated in U.S. Dollars; ARCE is not responsible for currency fluctuations. Priority will be given to those publication projects that further the AEF mission of excavation, documentation, and conservation of Egypt’s cultural heritage.

The application process for the short-term grant AEF grant and the RSM grant takes place annually. All applications must be prepared and submitted in English. We encourage you to send a draft proposal via email to aef@arce.org before December 20, 2024, to which ARCE’s Program staff will respond with suggesstions and advice.

Application deadline is 12 midnight EST on February 15th, 2025.

Call For Papers: Context & Meaning 2025

By

On October 16, 2024

In CFP

We are pleased to announce the twenty-fourth annual Context and Meaning Graduate Student Conference, hosted by the Queen’s University Department of Art History and Art Conservation in Kingston, Ontario. This two-day conference will be in-person on Friday, February 28th and Saturday, March 1st, 2025.

Beginnings are messy. How do we start to tell the history of an artwork, a field, an object, or a phenomenon? Tracing the beginning of histories can reveal inconsistencies in the constructions of canons and problematize issues in the field. Studying the beginnings of fields or the early collecting practices of museums illustrates the complexities of trying to establish something new. Terms such as pioneering, discovery, or origins denote beginnings and are freighted with layers of meaning. Many such terms, like trailblazing and spearheading, imply the extractive processes inherent to narrating history and its foundations. But beginning can alternatively be more positive: creating, growing, caring, and building something anew.

By choosing the theme “Beginnings” for the twenty-fourth annual Context and Meaning conference, the Graduate Visual Culture Association at Queen’s University aims to stimulate discussions about how institutions, fields, and styles are formed, how artists visualize rites of passage in their work, and how beginnings can involve processes of both care and harm.

Some potential topics that we hope to explore include, but are by no means limited to:
– Historiography— the establishment or codification of a “new” academic field (ex: African Art, Craft, Photography, Visual Culture Studies, Design History, Contemporary Art)
– Motherhood, adulthood, growing pains, birth and other rites of passage in art and material culture.
– Migration, exile, and beginning anew due to political, social, or economic circumstances in art and material culture.
– The beginnings of an artwork or object (materials and making, technical art history, the conservation of cultural materials)
– Foundations of artistic movements and figures who are left out of the canon
– The early collecting practices of a museum or cultural institution

Context and Meaning XXIV intends to provide an inclusive forum for multi-disciplinary academic discussion on visual and material culture. We encourage submissions from graduate students and scholars with a broad range of backgrounds and approaches whose research employs visual and material culture in ruminating on the themes of beginning. Submissions are welcome from current graduate students, as well as from those who have completed their graduate studies within the last two years. We seek to assemble a diverse group of scholars to foster interdisciplinary discussions.

If you are interested in participating in Context and Meaning XXIV, please visit www.gvca.ca/context-and-meaning to submit an abstract of no more than 300 words with the title of your paper and a 150-word bio. Each presenter will be asked to deliver a 15-minute presentation that will be followed by a panel discussion period. The deadline to submit an abstract is Friday, November 15th, 2024. Thank you to all who apply!

Implementing a Unified Museum Database System across Cairo-based Museums: CIPAIG Grant Project Launch

The Egyptian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities’ (MoTA) Central Information System: Data Rescue, Training and Needs Assessment Project launch and reception was held on 17 September at the Coptic Museum. Opening remarks were given by U.S. Ambassador Herro Mustafa Garg joined Deputy Minister of Tourism and Antiquities Yomna El-Bahar, U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Educational and Cultural Affairs Rafik Mansour, and ARCE Executive Director Dr. Louise Bertini to commemorate this project’s historic launch.

The grant will help Egyptian museum staff become more proficient in information technology, documentation, and collections management. Additionally, it will set the stage for a centralised system of documentation and collections management that will ensure accurate monitoring and documenting of artefacts by bringing pieces from various MoTA museums together through a single search interface.

The project will be implemented at various historical museums across Greater Cairo: the Egyptian Museum in Cairo (EMC), the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), the Coptic Museum, the Museum of Islamic Art, and the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization (NMEC).

An Ancient Egyptian UNESCO? Special Briefing by Professor Khaled El Enany, nominee for UNESCO’s Director-General Post

In September, ARCE also held a joint event with the American Chamber of Commerce (AMCHAM): a special breakfast briefing in honor of former Minister of Tourism and Antiquities Professor Khaled El Enany’s candidacy for the role of United Nations Education, Scientific, and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO)’s Director-General post.

Opening remarks by AMCHAM CEO Sylvia Menassa, president Tarek Tawfik, and ARCE Executive Director Dr. Louise Bertini highlighted the vital role tourism and heritage play in the country’s developmental framework, and ARCE’s contributions to cultural heritage preservation.

Inspired by UNESCO’s main values, Professor El Enany delivered a captivating lecture on how life in ancient Egypt tackled the same ethos as the organization’s, interweaving past and present as he explored science, education, ethics, social inclusion and other relevant themes.

Funding for this activity is provided by the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs of the U.S. Department of State through a grant from the Council of American Overseas Research Centers.
