| FOA Webinar: "Protecting Cultural Heritage in Times of Conflict" on 5/12 |
 |
Register for our next webinar on Thursday, May 12, at 6:30 pm EDT, featuring Patty Gerstenblith, Douglas Comer, Lisa Ackerman, and Andrew Cohen discussing "A World at War: Protecting Cultural Heritage in Times of Conflict." Cultural heritage is often a victim during armed conflicts. Why is heritage contested in war, and why do some look beyond immediate humanitarian crises to safeguard heritage for the future? Our speaker, Patty Gerstenblith, will examine those questions, and how countries came together to create a body of international law meant to preserve sites and collections in times of armed conflict and its aftermath. Her presentation will be followed by a panel that will discuss ways that the panelists have been involved in helping communities recover their heritage after a war and how anyone with an interest can also get involved. Register here. This event is free for everyone. This webinar will be recorded. All donation proceeds will support ASOR's Cultural Heritage Initiatives (donate here).
