Heritage in Resistance

From Timbuktu to Odesa, from Bamiyan to Gaza, armed conflicts increasingly target cultural heritage. The exhibition Heritage in Resistance explores not only acts of destruction, but also the forms of resistance and restoration that make it possible to envision a future from the ruins.
Through maps, texts, photographs, videos, contemporary artworks and digital replicas created by Iconem, the exhibition unfolds in three sections: Erasing, Resisting and Repairing.
Conceived as an in-depth visual report, it brings together the perspectives of architects, artists, researchers, field workers and witnesses. The exhibition examines how cultural heritage can help preserve collective memory, rebuild social bonds and shape a shared future.
The exhibition is held under the patronage of the French National Commission for UNESCO, in partnership with GrandPalaisRmn.
