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

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?
