Stop the looting of archaeological sites
poster37.jpg
Headless statues. Niches without the figures once adorning them. Tombs looted of their relics. Villages without the religious figures which once represented their spiritual world. Churches and palaces stripped of their most beautiful objects. Children growing up without ever having seen the highest cultural achievements of their own culture. These are some of the sad results of the illicit traffic in cultural objects which UNESCO wanted to highlight with the publication of this poster, designed by the artist Kaci.
