A renowned scholar with over 40 years of experience in cultural heritage, Dr. Bilinda Nandadeva has been elected to UNESCO’s prestigious Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH) evaluation body.

His appointment was announced during the 19th session of the ICH committee meeting in Paraguay, and he will serve a four year term, bringing his expertise to the global mission of safeguarding heritage.

ICH focusses on cultural traditions and practices that UNESCO is working hard to preserve for future generations. The evaluation body plays a pivotal role in assessing nominations for the ICH lists, helping ensure that important cultural practices are recognised and protected.

In Sri Lanka’s case, this includes treasures like Rukada Natya, the traditional string puppet drama, and the unique Dumbara Rata Kalala craftsmanship (traditional handmade mats used as wall hangings, tapestries or cushion covers).

The ICH evaluation body comprises 12 members including state appointed experts and accredited NGO representatives, offering perspectives on cultural preservation from around the world.

Nandadeva’s election is a victory for Sri Lanka, as it not only highlights his impressive work but also promises the country a stronger voice in global cultural preservation efforts.
