Is cultural heritage an overlooked casualty of war?
from Global Roaming with Geraldine Doogue and Hamish Macdonald · host Australian Broadcasting Corporation
With thousands dead and millions displaced in Iran, the humanitarian price of the US-Israel war will be steep. But there's another priceless casualty of war: art. With multiple UNESCO World Heritage sites in Iran sustaining damage, how do you protect a nation's cultural heritage during war time? Latika Bourke and Kylie Morris are joined by Basia Solokowska, who served as Defence and Crisis Management Officer at the Centre for Contemporary Art in Warsaw, Poland. She lifts the lid on how museums and art galleries prepare their collections for war, and the surprising role drones play in preserving our heritage.Guest: Basia Sokolowska, Polish-Australian artistGet in touch:We'd love to hear from you!
