Episode 1. Cultural Resilience in a Changing World - Salma Tuqan and Juan de Lara

Salma Tuqan, Deputy Director of Delfina Foundation and former Contemporary Middle East Curator at the V&A, gives us a better insight of the thriving and resilient cultural scene experienced in the Levant countries of the Mediterranean, in particular Lebanon, Palestine and Jordan. Through her sounded expertise, Salma explains the several ways in which the region has faced the challenge of crisis, from war to more current issues like the explosion of the harbour of Beirut.
