EP 5: All We Lose: Mourning and Reclaiming Cultural Heritage with Sahera Bleibleh

  • Summary

  • Cultural heritage is a central part of our lives – informing our habits, our memories and our happiness. This also makes it a target during times of war and conflict.

    The fifth conversation in our “Why Memory Matters in Palestine and Beyond” series will examine the rich cultural heritage found in Gaza and other parts of Palestine, how it lives and is transmitted in diaspora communities, and why its destruction is causing irreparable loss. Our guest will be Sahera Bleibleh, an Associate Professor at the United Arab Emirates University, specializing in architecture, urban design and planning.

    About the International Coalition of Sites of Conscience The International Coalition of Sites of Conscience (ICSC) is a global network of historic sites and museums that empowers communities to share stories of past traumas to prevent conflicts and human rights abuses today. Through capacity building, networking opportunities and grants, ICSC equips its members – known as Sites of Conscience – to be champions of memory, truth and justice by providing their communities with transformative experiences that help them to counter false narratives, embrace more inclusive histories and advocate for just, equitable systems today.
