Heritage experts call for international task force to plan Palmyra rebuild

Heritage experts, antiquities officials, and Syrian community members convened at a conference organized by the University of Lausanne and the Aliph foundation in Switzerland, marking the first comprehensive international meeting on Palmyra since the fall of Bashar Al Assad's regime in 2024. The group issued recommendations including the creation of an international expert task force to work toward removing Palmyra from the UNESCO List of World Heritage in Danger, and outlined three key priorities: rehabilitating the looted and damaged Palmyra museum, restoring artefacts currently held at the Damascus Museum, and repairing the foot bridge to the site. Aliph executive director Valery Freland aims to begin work in January 2026.

Ella Maillart, photographe baroudeuse des années 30 mise en lumière dans une exposition à Lausanne

Ella Maillart, a Swiss photographer and adventurer from the 1930s, is the subject of a new exhibition in Lausanne. Born in Geneva in 1903, Maillart was an Olympic sailor and champion skier before turning to travel and photography. She journeyed across the Soviet Union, Central Asia, and China, often by train, ski, or camel, documenting remote cultures and political landscapes. Her travels included a 6,000-kilometer trek from Beijing to Kashmir with British writer Peter Fleming, and a road trip from Geneva to Kabul with friend Annemarie Schwarzenbach. The exhibition highlights her photographs and writings, which blend geographical exploration, political chronicle, and personal meditation.
