Introduction

This page collects different online interviews and videos broadcast on several occasions: reportages, public presentations on Urkesh, conferences, TV reports, etc. (cf. also AVASA in the media; Italian version).

In order to offer a wider information on the ancient Near East, the page includes also videos related not only to Urkesh but generally to ancient Syro-Mesopotamian area (all these videos involving Urkesh team’s members).

Other videos can be easily accessed on a specific Youtube Channel: Urkesh Mozan.

Further information can be found on Giorgio Buccellati’s personal webpage, at the following links:

“Un confronto musicale fra Domodossola e Qamishli [A musical encounter between Domodossola and Qamishli],”
Rimini Meeting, 24-30 August 2018.
The last room of the exhibition at the Rimini Meeting “I millenni per l'oggi. Archaeology against war: yesterday's Urkesh in today's Syria” (24-30 August 2018, see catalog), closely linked to the sensory dimension and dedicated exclusively to music, has particularly impressed visitors. We invited them to break away from the visual dimension and gather in a dark and silent space, in which they were to give absolute attention to the musical interpretation of some very young composers, involved in our school project. Here we present the audio and video of that room: we too, “readers” and users of this website, are invited in the first minutes to immerse ourselves in the darkness and listen to the music inspired by Urkesh, composed by the students of Domodossola gathered for the occasion in the OcheStrana, directed by Enzo Sartori. Then, after the first five minutes of darkness and sound, the sensations are reversed: in a “deafening” silence, we see the very young musicians of the Roj Ava Orchestra in an exceptional concert they held on the monumental staircase of Urkesh. Finally, sound and image come together: yesterday's Urkesh comes to life, and resonates with today's music.
