"The show at the #InstitutDuMondeArabe in Paris [...] closed last December, having had its run extended, but very few other international museums have shown any interest in hosting it. If it were for me to curate it, with an unlimited budget, I’d leave an expanse the length of an airport runway between each object to show how much has been destroyed."

'[A]ccording to UNESCO, 150 world #heritageSites in #Gaza had sustained damage since the start of the war. [...] "#TrésorsSauvésDeGaza,” which presented 123 works from those crates in Geneva, was both a preview of what a future museum of #GazanHistory might look like and a reminder of everything it will not contain.'

"This show has excited controversy: should we even be talking about damage to #antiquities in the context of so much killing? The show’s maps dating from earlier this year, however, make it clear that targeting the history and heritage of the Palestinian people has been an intrinsic aspect of the Israeli assault on #Gaza."
