How did Indonesia shape the British empire, global science, and knowledge? How can repatriation build new global collaborations?

In-person at The Advanced Research Centre 

University of Glasgow

Studio 2

Online via Eventbrite

Organizing committee

Dr Adam Bobbette 

Dr Bagus Muljadi

CONTEXT

Inscriptions on the Move will explore collaboration between Britain and Indonesia in the past, present, and future. The conference will examine the context and legacies of the Prasasti Sangguran and Pucangan, two early modern stone inscriptions removed from Indonesia by Stamford Raffles during the British Interregnum of Java (1811-1816). The Sangguran inscription was sent to the Minto estate in Scotland while the Pucangan was sent to Kolkata. Campaigns to repatriate the inscriptions began in 2003.

The conference will explore new research on the inscriptions in their early modern and modern contexts, including their role in colonial and post-colonial national imaginaries, ideas of cultural and environmental decline, changing conceptions of borders, territory, colony, and empire. The conference will consider the history of campaigns for the restitution of artefacts to Indonesia, the repatriation of artworks from Scottish museums, and the shifting parameters of national narratives. By connecting the deep history of the inscriptions to the present, early modern to modern Indonesia, Britain, and India, the workshop will highlight the fluidity and contested meanings of the inscriptions.
