Join our founder and other experts for an important event addressing the effects of international sanctions on the preservation and protection of cultural heritage. Iran’s astounding cultural heritage has developed over many millennia. But during the past decade, Iranian heritage has had to contend with the sanctions era, a period in which political and practical challenges have made heritage management, research, and cultural tourism more difficult. In this unique webinar hosted by the Heritage Management Organization and the Bourse & Bazaar Foundation, these challenges will be discussed by experts with first-hand knowledge of how Iran’s cultural sector has had to adapt in order to remain connected to global exchanges on arts, culture, and shared patrimony.
The discussion will be moderated by Kyle Olson of the University of Pennsylvania, whose five-part article series published by the Bourse & Bazaar Foundation, explored the impact of sanctions on the cultural heritage sector in Iran. Our founder has written about the effects of politics on heritage (with an emphasis on Iran) in a law review article published in 2020, available here: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3572987
Our law firm addressed the topic in a blog post here (https://www.artandiplawfirm.com/why-cultural-heritage-should-not-be-destroyed-to-punish-a-nation/). Our founder even drafted the official statement of the Lawyers’ Committee for Cultural Heritage Preservation (LCCHP) calling for the protection of heritage in Iran.
