Kawkaba: Highlights from the Barjeel Art Foundation, a new exhibition of works by artists from across the Middle East and North Africa that opened recently at Christie’s in London, bears the name of the Arabic word for constellation. Fittingly, it shines a light on the region’s mid-century moment when art was often part of a process of post-colonial nation building. The exhibition is a star-studded journey through the region’s 20th century histories and aesthetics, showcasing lesser-known artists along with the greats.

We’ve all seen the social media posts that have proliferated our feeds throughout the pandemic. Celebrities the world over have kept us updated on how their lives – like those of most across the globe – have been uprooted due to Covid-19.
Some successfully gained a loyal following thanks to their down-to-earth candour (see Dame Judi Dench and Tom Hanks), while others did not quite hit the mark with their inaccessible lifestyles (case in point: Gal Gadot s star-studded cover of John Lennon s
Imagineor Kim Kardashian s holiday).
