Eye on Heritage

Intangible Cultural Heritage in North-East Syria

2019 – 2023

In 2019, I co-founded the NGO ‘Eye on Heritage’ as a platform for local filmmakers in north-east Syria to present their intangible cultural heritage to international audiences. Eye on Heritage established production studios in Urfa, Turkey and Raqqa, Syria for the filming, editing and distribution of videos documenting and promoting the region’s music, poetry and storytelling traditions.
