Radio For The Deaf started as an idea: How can the deaf enjoy a radio talk show? From 2017 to 2020, Connecticut Public Radio partnered with Hartford’s American School For The Deaf and Source Interpreting to broadcast The Colin McEnroe Show as a simulcast on Facebook Live with sign language interpreters. You can see the shows we produced during that time. Please scroll down on this page to find the embedded video and click play for our interpreted Radio For The Deaf broadcast.

Who Owns Antiquity?

Hobby Lobby recently paid a $3 million fee for illegally buying smuggled ancient Iraqi artifacts.

This hour: What is the relationship between collecting antiquities and the looting of them in countries that are experiencing violent conflicts and societal breakdown? Do Western museums and collections have a role to play in saving at-risk antiquities?

And then: A look at two projects at Yale documenting information about cultural heritage sites in Syria -- what does it mean to be a steward of knowledge about a place that may no longer exist?

This show is the ninth part of a new experiment: Radio for the Deaf. Watch a simulcast of signers from Source Interpreting interpreting our radio broadcast in American Sign Language on Facebook Live.

GUESTS:

  • Leila Amineddoleh - An art and cultural heritage attorney; professor of art and cultural heritage law at Fordham University; professor of art crime law at NYU
  • Lisa Brody - Associate curator of ancient art at the Yale University Art Gallery, and curator of its Dura Europos exhibit
  • Amr Al-Azm - Associate professor of Middle East history at Shawnee State University; former director of Scientific and Conservation Laboratories at the Department of Antiquities and Museums in Syria
