Description<\/h2>\n

“Sites of Meaning: Caring for Asia’s Cultural Heritage” investigated current conservation work at important architectural, art, and historical sites in Asia, and how these projects include new technologies, sustainability, and community development.\u00a0Preserving exceptional architectural, historic and art sites of the past is ever more complex, with pressures from rapid urban development, environmental considerations, and more.\u00a0Using new approaches, many projects are planned with extensive community involvement and sustainability in mind. Conservation techniques are making significant advances\u2014while digitizing entire sites can help protect them from over-crowding (description taken from the Gardner Center website<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Details<\/h3>\n

Saturdays, 9:30 a.m. \u2013 1:30 p.m., from January 30 to March 19 and April 9
\nSeattle Asian Art Museum, Volunteer Park<\/p>\n

Each Saturday, educators attended the public lecture from 9:30 – 11:00 a.m. and then met for a writing workshop with Mary from 11:00 a.m – 1:30 p.m.\u00a0 During the workshop, time was\u00a0given to solitary writing in the art galleries in response to the morning lecture. The group then reconvened to share working drafts. The workshop nurtured educators as writers through self-reflection and group discussion.<\/p>\n
