A note on the ruins for visitors
A note on the ruins for visitors is a deeply personal portrait of the Assyrian community from fragments of material drawn from Bahto’s family history, ancient artifacts, and collaborations with contemporary artists working across the diaspora. “When Daesh invaded Iraq and released videos of themselves destroying ancient Assyrian artworks in the Mosul Museum,” Bahto explains, “I found myself thinking more deeply about my relationship to history as the grandchild of survivors of Seyfo – the Assyrian genocide. In fact, I realized that the genocide hadn’t ended.” The film investigates the materiality of cultural memory alongside its personal and spiritual dimensions, embodying the rebuilding of a community and connection to culture that honors the past while insisting on an open future.
