Welcome to the sixth and final issue of 2022. The proxy war between Russia and the West shows no sign of a peaceful resolution, but not only is the human cost is spiralling out of control, but the damage to monuments, institutions and cultural heritage is increasing daily, with unforgiving and irrevocable consequences. Every time our heritage is damaged or destroyed, we all suffer the loss. As a journal aimed at supporting reflective practice, we cannot stand back from the issues the world is currently facing. The current war has now thrown the issues of economic and social inequality, structural racism, and the precarious balance between international law and naked power into even starker relief, which only exacerbate the critical issue of climate change, which continues to call out for immediate and decisive action.
