DESCRIPTION:The seminar considers museums as pertinent players in debates 
 related to the promulgation of tobacco (and smoking) as cultural heritage 
 in Indonesia. Specifically\, it examines two museums – dedicated to toba
 cco\, and kretek (or clove cigarettes) popularly consumed by Indonesians 
 – as ambivalent spaces that seemingly condone\, if not encourage\, a pra
 ctice seen by some as risky to self and others\, thus rendering the museum
 s problematic. In doing so\, the paper reveals issues arising when ‘vice
 ’ practices are presented as heritage and also how museums can become si
 tes where morality may be simultaneously upheld and questioned.\n\nHamzah 
 Muzaini is Associate Professor with the Department of Southeast Asian Stud
 ies\, National University of Singapore. A cultural and heritage geographer
  by background\, his research interests include the politics of memory and
  heritage in Singapore and Malaysia\, and intersections between heritage a
 nd vice in Indonesia. He is co-author/editor of ‘Contested Memoryscapes:
  Politics of War Commemoration in Singapore’ (with B. Yeoh\, 2016) and 
 ‘After Heritage: Critical Perspectives on Heritage from Below’ (with C
 . Minca\, 2018).\n\nOnline:  https://bit.ly/4qHAj6S  \n\nhttps://us06web.z
