As a trained art historian I am inevitably drawn to the art historical narrative in the viewing or appreciating a genre of art. And when I view wall based work, I observe them through the different mediums of expression, be they the traditional painting format, or the rnore modem medium of photography, or the most contemporary multimedia manifestations.

    Field Survey Report Intangible Cultural Heritage Safeguarding Efforts in the Asia-Pacific 2013 International Information and Networking Centre for Intangible Cultural Heritage in the Asia-Pacific Region under the auspices of UNESCO In Cooperation with the Indira Gandhi National Centre for the Arts (IGNCA) Preface The International Information and Networking Centre for Intangible Cultural Heritage in the Asia-Pacific Region under the auspices of UNESCO (ICHCAP) has carried out various bilateral projects to safeguard intangible cultural heritage (ICH) with Member States in the region. These projects, in the Centre’s areas of specialisation—information and networking—have acted as stimulants to build ICH information and strengthen solidarity throughout the region. In this context, ICHCAP initiated the project Field Survey of the Intangible Cultural Heritage Safeguarding Efforts in the Asia-Pacific Region in 2009. The project aims to collect information on safeguarding systems and policies, ICH inventories, ICH- related organisations, ICH lists, and pending issues regarding ICH safeguarding, and it aims to obtain a grasp on the current situation to discover appropriate measures to promote ICH safeguarding. Since 2009, the project has been carried out in over thirty Member States of the Asia-Pacific region. In 2013, ICHCAP worked in collaboration with experts and institutes from five countries—Turkey, Japan, India, the Federated States of Micronesia, and the Republic of Korea—to carry out the field survey project. The final report from the project will be used as a resource for states within the region to strengthen their understanding of ICH in other countries in the region. It will also serve as a resource that will help determine the particular needs and provide a direction for new cooperative projects for safeguarding ICH.
