ABOUT US
The Asia Pacific Tropical Climate Conservation Art Research Network (APTCCARN) is a collaborative effort to explore the cultural maintenance and preservation of cultural material in Asia and the Pacific. Traditional and relatively recent works of art are important in terms of national identity and memory, yet research on their preservation has not been a major focus of research in our region. Our focus on works of art made in "international" and "traditional" styles and techniques reveals important information about the culture and conditions in the region.
APTCCARN comprises of a group of researchers whose work focuses on art produced in the Asia-Pacific region. Our approach is inclusive, building on pluralistic knowledge across the four agency(ies) of conservation of objects, people, place and time.
