For us, the living reimagines an audio tour initially planned in 1940 to awaken US apathy in the wake of Hitler’s invasion of Poland and plundering of European cultural heritage. The script was rewritten and recorded by prominent artists residing in Amman who have fled ISIS in Iraq and Syria, and performed at The Museum of Modern Art, New York.
