Borobudur Conservation Office are pleased to announce our event called Borobudur International Online Course on Heritage Material Conservation 2020. (BIOCHEMCO 2020). We invites students, professionals, young conservators and archeologists from all around the world to discuss traditional based methodologies on material conservation.
Currently, the development of cultural heritage conservation in Indonesia is more oriented towards the application of centuries-long local wisdoms which have their own characteristics based on traditional methodologies and natural products. In its application, conservation based on traditional methodologies has more advantages compared to conventional method that uses synthetic chemicals. The former method is more suitable and easy to apply. Because of the availability of products, reversible, and minimum negative impact.
The course will be held on October 19 – 30, 2020 using Zoom Webinar application. Only 30 selected participants are allowed to attend this course, so please make sure to register yourself before October 14, 2020.
BIOCHEMCO 2020 is carried out online by using video teleconference. Laboratory practice demonstration will be held online from Borobudur Conservation Office. In the final part of the course, all participant, individually or in groups will present their own traditional based conservation. In this presentation section there will be exchange of information between each participant. The portion for each activity are about 30% class activities, 40 % laboratory practice, and 30 % grup presentation.
