Islamic Art - The Barakat Trust
Coping with coronavirus’ fruits of boredom? Well, make our Asia House Arts In Isolation series your favourite playlist and belt them out — and open a window so others can hear.Pretty much everything from the Louvre to the NBA has been closed, cancelled or postponed. But it takes more than that to really cancel culture. Because if you can’t visit art, we bring it to you. We can still remain connected to the creative voices who help us make sense of our times.

This week's podcast brings you a story of loss, but also of hope. Layla S. Diba narrates her experiences directing the Negarestan Museum in Tehran—and how it was erased from history. She also reflects on the importance of culture in protecting our identity.
This podcast is part of Asia House Arts in Isolation Series and Converging Paths, an initiative organised in partnership with the Barakat Trust that promotes the arts and cultures of the Islamic World.
