Artists hope to preserve, rebuild Gaza’s cultural heritage

Season 2025 Episode 364 | 9m 40s

Gaza has been a place of terror, war and struggle, but also a place with a rich cultural and artistic history. Much of that has been damaged or destroyed the last two years. Senior arts correspondent Jeffrey Brown looks at the losses, but also at the hope some artists have for the future. It’s part of our arts and culture series, CANVAS.
