This course explores the destruction of art which has been going on for centuries whether through natural disasters, censorship, political ideology, war, and conflicts.

Whilst activists are prepared to vandalise artworks to get their voices heard on issues they are passionate about. And governments waging wars deliberate target artworks to destroy the enemy’s culture. Are artworks destined to be destroyed whether through practice, protest, or conflict?
