She shows how ar�sts such as Jumana Manna, Kamal Aljafari, Larissa Sansour, Farah Saleh, Basel Abbas, and Ruanna Abou-Rahme reimagine the archive, approaching it not through the desire to unearth hidden knowledge, but to sever the iden�fica�on of the archive with the past.

Cul�va�ng the Past, Living the Modern explores how and why heritage has emerged as a prevalent force in building the modern na�on state of Oman. Amal Sachedina analyses the rela�ons with the past that undergird the shi� in Oman from an Ibadi shari'a Imamate (1913–1958) to a modern na�on state from 1970 onwards.
Over a million Indians travel annually to work in oil projects in the Gulf, one of the few des�na�ons offering lucra�ve employment to men without formal educa�on. Demonstrates how migra�on is deeply informed both by workers’ dreams for the future and the legacies of colonial capitalism.
