This week's podcast brings you a story of loss, but also of hope. Layla S. Diba narrates her experiences directing the Negarestan Museum in Tehran—and how it was erased from history. She also reflects on the importance of culture in protecting our identity.

This podcast is part of Asia House Arts in Isolation Series and Converging Paths, an initiative organised in partnership with the Barakat Trust that promotes the arts and cultures of the Islamic World.
