Efforts to protect and preserve Egypt’s tangible and intangible heritage have been around for millennia, from ancient Egyptian princes to modern NGOs. This study day unpacks some of these historic attempts and questions the concept of ‘preservation’, what has been preserved, for whom, and why.
This event will be hosted by Carl Graves, Director of the Egypt Exploration Society and Seif El Rashidi, Director of the Barakat Trust. It has been co-organised by the Egypt Exploration Society and the Barakat Trust with support from the British Egyptian Society and Royal Asiatic Society. Members of these organisations are eligible to book tickets at a reduced rate.
