SUMMARY:20 Years Later: The Destruction of the Bamiyan Buddhas
DESCRIPTION:In March 2001\, the Taliban ordered and directed the demolition of two treasured symbols of Afghanistan’s pre-Islamic heritage: the Bamiyan Buddhas. The objective was to erase any cultural heritage inconsistent with their narrow vision of Islam. Twenty years later\, Dr. Morwari Zafar\, an anthropologist with experience in international development and national security\, and currently an adjunct lecturer at Georgetown University’s Security Studies program\, reflects on the relationship between al-Qaeda and the Taliban during this time and discusses the significance of cultural heritage in defining a country’s national identity.

SUMMARY:Legacies: Daniel Libeskind
DESCRIPTION:An international figure in architecture and urban design\, Daniel Libeskind is renowned for his ability to evoke cultural memory in buildings. His work includes the Jewish Museum in Berlin\, the Contemporary Jewish Museum in San Francisco\, and the Danish Jewish Museum in Copenhagen\, as well as the master plan for the rebuilding of the World Trade Center in Lower Manhattan and several other noteworthy commissions. Born in Lodz\, Poland in 1946 to Holocaust survivors\, Libeskind has a fascinating personal journey that has informed his work. The unique architecture he creates is a product\, in part\, of his own identity as well as his deep commitment to music\, philosophy\, literature\, and poetry. Join Libeskind and Paul Goldberger\, Pulitzer Prize-winning architectural critic and Contributing Editor at Vanity Fair\, for a conversation about Libeskind’s life and legacy.
