Issue 257: The Gulf Issue is OUT NOW⁠ ⁠ For our first issue devoted entirely to the Gulf region, we look to lives and practices defined by movement — whether across borders or between genres. ‘The Gulf’s social, cultural and economic systems have always been shaped by movement,’ says 421 director Faisal Al Hassan in a roundtable on Gulf futurism and the numerous changes occurring in the region now.⁠ ⁠ In our columns, Saudi Arabia’s SINDBAD Collective reflect on how their nomadic exhibition practice has reached new communities in Saudi Arabia and Bahrain; Samir Bantal writes about renewed interest in the nomadic terrains of the countryside; and filmmaker Mohammad Alfaraj speaks with Róisín Tapponi about portraying flight and flux in a region undergoing immense cultural, political and environmental transformation.⁠ ⁠ In the features section, Alia Farid reflects on landscape and belonging: ‘It’s all the studio,’ she tells Maru Pabón. In a probing ‘1,500 Words’, Monira Al Qadiri writes of the horrors of the Gulf War, her ten years in Japan and the vibrancy of the ‘pre-oil world’ and the ‘colour of history in the Gulf’. And in an interview, Dana Awartani speaks of how terror, war and colonialism have sought to erase the ‘multiple histories and communities’ which transcend the political borders of such an extraordinary region.
