Dearest @VeroMistiaen thinking of you

On May 25th, the editors Natalya Din-Kariuki, Subha Mukherji, + Rowan Williams (along with Issam Kourbaj) speak on a panel at the How the Light Gets In Festival in Hay: howthelightgetsin.org/events/migrant…

💡 Arts Spotlight 💡 What drives us to create, to roam, to perform - and to let go? At #HTLGI25, the arts programme dives into the heart of what it means to be human. From 'Journeys Into the Unknown' with Natalya Din-Kariuki (@endeeekay), Issam Kourbaj (@ikourbaj), Subha Mukherji and Rowan Williams, to the paradox of surrender in 'The Importance of Giving Up' with Adam Phillips, get ready to challenge how we see the world and ourselves. Michelle Terry of Shakespeare’s Globe asks who we are beneath the roles we play in 'The Philosophy of Performance', while @jordanfstephens and @profpauldolan take on grief, joy, and meaning in 'Trouble with Temptation'. 🎭✨ Explore more arts events taking the stage this year here: howthelightgetsin.org/festivals/hay/…

Grateful & humbled by artist Issam Kourbaj's work & that my work "started Kourbaj’s quest for an Urgent Archive, his Cambridge's Kettle’s Yard exhibition." "At the centre of the exhibition is the story of Mansour, who used blood to document his fellow inmates' identities. Link:⬇️

@MansourOmari Thank you Mansour, Hope all is good.

If you’re in Athens next month, don’t miss this talk with artist @ikourbaj at Moon Station Athens, an arts salon I run in the centre of the city at a friend’s design studio, on the second floor of a 1930s building, opposite the old Greek parliament.

This #WorldRefugeeWeek we're highlighting the work of artist Issam Kourbaj. His work 'Dark Water, Burning World' is on view in the Kettle's Yard house until the end of World Refugee Day on 20 June. Book your house visit to see it: ow.ly/eToh50SjLzA

“For Issam Kourbaj, the process of drawing seems to be his metronome: a daily process of trying to figure out (as in, make sense of) and figure the form of (as in, give presence to) his nostalgia, longing for a home that has to be felt but not necessarily fulfilled.”

Have you seen our beautiful limited edition tile made with Issam Kourbaj? Each has been hand-stamped by the artist with a line from his found poem Leave to Remain: A single Syrian grain, airborne, using Arabic alphabet stamps. Buy yours now: ow.ly/rLIT50RU299
