THE LOST PAINTINGS – A PRELUDE TO RETURN opens at the Metropolitan Arts Centre (MAC) in Belfast, featuring works by Sama Alshaibi alongside 52 other artists from Palestine and its diaspora.
The exhibition seeks to recreate and reimagine works by Palestinian-Lebanese artist Maroun Tomb, whose 1947 exhibition in Haifa was lost amid the mass displacement and dispossession of Palestinians during the Nakba.
The exhibition runs from 23 January to 26 March 2026.
