Her fellow panalists include Dr Maamoun Abdulkarim, Director General of Antiquities and Museums in Syria and Juliana Forero, external advisor for WHITRAP – World Heritage Institute of Training and Research for the Asia and the Pacific region, under the auspices of UNESCO.

The panel will consider whether preserving cultural heritage is always a good thing. Does an exploration of the past always bring unity, or is there a danger that preserving history can fuel divisions?
