Portraits de femmes

This exhibition presents portraits of women working in heritage protection in conflict, post-conflict, and crisis regions. Today, many architects, archaeologists, site guardians, museum curators, art historians, restorers and craftswomen are working on the ground, oftentimes in complicated contexts, to safeguard monuments, sites, museums, places of worship or collections threatened by war, climate change or natural disasters. To mark International Women’s Day, the International alliance for the protection of heritage (ALIPH) and the Luxembourg Commission for UNESCO are celebrating these talented and courageous women, guardians of our memory.

Created in 2017 in Geneva, ALIPH is the world’s leading fund exclusively dedicated to protecting or rehabilitating heritage in crisis situations. It is a public-private partnership bringing together eight countries and three private donors. To date, ALIPH has supported nearly 500 projects in over 37 countries, financing concrete initiatives carried out on the ground, hand-in-hand with local partners, authorities, and communities. Through heritage protection, ALIPH aims to contribute to peace-building and sustainable development.

The Grand Duchy of Luxembourg is one of the founding members of ALIPH.
