ICOM UK - Heritage in Crisis: Looting Ukrainian Cultural Heritage

As well as the destruction of heritage sites in Ukraine there are also numerous instances of cultural property being looted. Meanwhile, there is a loss of expertise as curators, conservators, archivists and librarians prioritise safeguarding collections over professional development, with many specialists enlisting to fight or fleeing across borders. The first talk in this series will focus on the role of ICOM Red Lists in combatting illicit trade in cultural artefacts. We will consider how artefacts looted from Ukraine could easily turn up in the UK - perhaps on eBay, as goods seized by border police or by being offered to museums for acquisition. Being aware of what to look for and knowing when to alert the authorities is a vital step towards stopping this illegal trade and returning looted artefacts to rightful owners. We will also look at what is being done to support those whose professional development has been put on hold due to the war. Speakers: Sophie Delepierre, Head of Heritage Protection, ICOM secretariat, responsible for producing the Red Lists Anastasiia Cherednychenko, vice-chair ICOM Ukraine, speaking about the Red List for Ukraine
