Cultural emergency in conflict and disaster
This pioneering first handbook for cultural emergency relief is being launched in the framework of the Prince Claus Fund’s Cultural Emergency Response programme. Amongst other issues, it includes a compelling contribution on efforts to safeguard the collections and reconstruct the National Museum of Afghanistan that suffered immensely from the effects of war and the destabilising effects of the iconoclastic Taliban regime. It also addresses the global traffic in Iraqi antiquities and recovery efforts following the fall of Saddam Hussein in April 2003. Locally rooted reconstruction initiatives in the aftermath of the Indian Ocean Tsunami in 2004 are also examined. The publication is illustrated by a captivating series of photo essays such as that demonstrating the impact of the devastating earthquake of 12 January 2010 on Haiti's unique architectural heritage.
