Iran's Cultural Heritage in the Sanctions Era
Webinar - April 27 - 11:00 AM to 12:30 PM EST
Iran's astounding cultural heritage developed over many eras. But in the last decade, Iranian cultural 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.
