The Art Newspaper podcast: The Week In Art
From breaking news and insider insights to exhibitions and events around the world, the team at The Art Newspaper picks apart the art world’s big stories with the help of special guests. An award-winning podcast hosted by Ben Luke, The Week in Art is sponsored by Christie’s.
This week: is heritage in Ukraine being attacked and looted, and what can be done to protect it? Ben Luke talks to The Art Newspaper’s museums and heritage editor, Tom Seymour, who has been to the Poland-Ukraine border with the International Council of Museums (ICOM), to witness museum materials being sent into Ukraine to help institutions there.
Then, Tom talks to Sophie Delepierre, the head of heritage protection at ICOM, about the organisation’s efforts in Ukraine and elsewhere.
• Tom’s full report into ICOM’s work for Ukraine is in the June issue of The Art Newspaper.
• The organisation Sophie mentions is NEMO, the Network of European Museum Organisations.
