Professor Danny Friedmann's co-authored article published in Harvard International Law Journal on Sacred Art, IP and Traditional Cultural Expressions

Professor Danny Friedmann (PKU STL) co-authored with Chen Jun (doctoral candidate CUHK), the article Protecting Sacred Art and Identity – From Intellectual Property to Traditional Cultural Expressions, which was published online in Harvard International Law Journal.

Sacred art is imperative for the sustainability of a collective identity. Its protection via both intellectual property and cultural heritage rights is not well aligned to this objective. This article uses the Balinese Sanghyang Dedari as a case study to demonstrate how elements of this sacred trance dance were transformed by a German and an Indonesian into the secular Kecak dance in the 1930s, which is presented and perceived, incorrectly, as the quintessential traditional Balinese dance, protectable via cultural heritage rights.
