ASSOCIATION OF ART MUSEUM CURATORS RAISES CONCERN FOR COLLEAGUES IN UKRAINE |
|
New York, NY, February 25, 2022 – The Association of Art Museum Curators (AAMC), which serves an international community and is the foremost voice for all art curators, strongly condemns the violation of the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Ukraine. We are concerned for all people affected by the invasion, and have our colleagues, across the art, historical, and cultural sector living and working in Ukraine, at the forefront of our minds and hearts. As the situation continues to unfold, we also hope that any deliberate targeting of art, architectural, archaeological and cultural sites does not occur as it is against international treaties to which the United States Government is a signatory, including the 1954 Hague Convention for the Protection of Cultural Property in the Event of Armed Conflict, the United Nations Security Council Resolution 2347 (2017), and 1972 UNESCO Convention Concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage.
