Sama Alshaibi featured in the Metropolitan Arts Centre (MAC)'s The Lost Paintings - A Prelude to Return in Belfast

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.⁠
