Syria Cultural Landscape Mapping for the British Council

Mapping Syria's cultural sector in a post-conflict, transitional context — inside the country and across the diaspora.

OVERVIEW

Mapping Syria's cultural landscape in transition

As Syria moves through a fragile, transitional moment, its cultural sector — artists, institutions, community initiatives, and heritage actors — plays a quiet but vital role in resilience and dialogue. The British Council commissioned JRC to map that landscape, both inside Syria and across the diaspora, building a clear picture of who is creating, sustaining, and connecting culture in a post-conflict context.

ABOUT

Culture as a force for resilience and dialogue

  • Culture

A study of the people and practices that hold cultural life together — mapping networks, spaces, and the ways cultural work contributes to social cohesion.

APPROACH

Using qualitative and participatory methods, JRC mapped Syria's cultural networks, spaces, and practices — examining artistic production, cultural institutions, community-based initiatives, and heritage actors, and exploring how practitioners engage communities and contribute to social resilience and dialogue. The findings informed the British Council's strategic cultural programming and partnerships, helping ensure its interventions are locally grounded, inclusive, and aligned with cultural sustainability.
