Issue 3-4

In this issue, we are delighted to feature the art collection of Samia Saleh, the first Emirati art patron to grace the pages of Canvas. We also take a special look at the contribution that the diaspora of the Middle East and Arab world has made to art and culture. Readers can enjoy an exclusive tour of the Arab American Museum, a unique institution that traces the footsteps of hundreds of thousands of US immigrants. In addition, we take a look at Kader Attia’s installations that comment on the isolation and subsequent internalisation of France’s North African communities, the photographs of changing lands by Bahrain-based Camille Zakharia and Mostafa Abdel Moity’s paintings.
