Samuel Spencer featurest the latest group exhibition by Dubai’s Lawrie Shabibi gallery, which "takes as its topic the loss of heritage currently occurring on a mass scale in the Middle East and beyond."

 

“But Still Tomorrow Builds Into My Face” will comprise work of eight artists from across Europe, America, and the Middle East. From the 2011 uprisings in Nadia Kaabi-Linke’s home city of Tunis to buildings destroyed by ISIS and recreated by Shahpour Pouyan and duo Persijn Broersen & Margit Lukács, most works in the exhibition respond to recent historic events in which cultural heritage was erased or threatened to be erased."
