Syrians for Heritage (SIMAT)
Syrians for Heritage (SIMAT)
Syrians for Heritage (SIMAT) is a cultural association
that strives to preserve the Syrian heritage for all Syrians and for the
world. Through our tangible and intangible heritage, we can comprehend
our past and anticipate our future. This understanding will help us
rediscover our plurality, restore our sense of belonging to our land and
country, and achieve our hoped-for, peaceful future.
SIMAT is an inclusive association. It insists on
broadening the discourse on Syrian heritage to encompass diverse
perspectives, including those that have historically been excluded for a
variety of reasons. SIMAT engages civil society in
Syria and the Syrian diaspora and collaborates with concerned
international organizations in the service of heritage education,
exhibition, and conservation. SIMAT aims to challenge
intended and unintended infringements on and appropriation of Syrian
art, culture, and architecture, and promotes the study and appreciation
of Syrian heritage locally and internationally for all.
