Conference Alert – The Protection of Heritage in time of Conflict
Rescue is running a small online conference. See the details below:
The destruction of cultural property in time of conflict is not a recent issue. Centuries of war, colonisation and industrialisation – among other ongoing processes- have caused the destruction and displacement of millions of people and objects. We continue to witness the destruction of heritage sites the looting of archaeological and cultural objects, and the displacement of people due to cultural, political, and environmental causes across the world, including Syria, Iraq, Libya, Mali… and more recently in Ukraine. Rescue is dedicating its annual AGM to the topic of the protection of heritage in times of conflict to discuss these wide-ranging issues and their aftermath with this online mini-Conference. It will address both the impact conflict has on tangible and intangible heritage, from people to places.
