Please join us in the iSpace VR Studio for a tour with Professor Amr Al Azm, PhD (Associate Professor at Shawnee State University). Dr. Azm will remotely guide a "walk-through" of the Syrian ruins at Palmyra and contextualize the history of the Arch from its construction to present day, offer insight as to why ISIS chose to destroy the site, and discuss the importance of the Arch and Palmyra as a Syrian cultural heritage icon that can help restore the fabric of a devastated country and people. No prior experience is necessary. Guests may use one of the virtual reality headsets available in the iSpace or are welcome to watch along on a monitor.
