“Project Mosul aims to avoid the rhetoric of hate with which these acts of destruction
have been associated and instead wants to focus on a message of hope: by working together, it is possible to preserve our shared memory and connections to our cultural heritage, even renew and invigorate it, regardless of the acts of destruction currently being perpetrated upon it.”
