and Mozat Laham made of lamb shank and vermicelli rice. Those with a sweet tooth can delight in Mama’s Elba, a cake reminiscent of the crème caramel infused with saffron and cardamom, or the Um Ali, a puff pastry pudding with notes of rose water and sprinkles of pistachio. The Em Sherif restaurant, masterminded by renowned chef Mireille Hayek, is known for its tantalising dishes and its locations in London’s Harrods department store and the Hôtel de Paris in Monte-Carlo are where locals and tourists go to experience an oriental escapade. While the menus of the two venues vary, diners are offered a sumptuous and flamboyant choice of savoury pastries, egg-based dishes, salads, mezzes, and grills. And there are more sweet treats to accompany them than one is likely to resist: a fragrant Lebanese rose panna cotta [muhallabiya] with candied rhubarb and rose ice cream, a tempting citrus semolina cake [nammoura] with candied fruits and almond milk ice cream, and a luscious kunafa to tantalise one’s palate. Art galleries are the love letters to the creative minds of Arab artists. There’s something for everyone, for the dreamy-eyed, the romantic, the wildly imaginative, and the philosophical. This summer’s rendezvous at Christie’s in London surely enraptured art aficionados, where the largest exhibition on modern and contemporary Arab art unveiled works by trailblasing Arab and Emirati artists. Presented in collaboration with the UAE’s Ministry of Culture and Youth and the UAE-based Barjeel Art Foundation, the exhibition inspired and illuminated audiences to admire this compelling collection that spanned an impressive
84-year spectrum of creativity from 1939 to 2023. The first section of the exhibition was titled “Kawkaba”, meaning constellation in Arabic, and showcased 100 artworks from the Barjeel Art Foundation’s collection, which included works by Marwan Kassab-Bachi, Mohamed Melehi, Ibrahim El-Salahi, Inji Efflatoun, Simone Fattal, Menhat Helmy, Samia Osseiran Joumblatt, and Mona Saudi. A second section of the exhibition was titled “Emirati Art Reimagined: Hassan Sharif and the Contemporary Voices”, which featured the artistic brilliance of contemporary UAE artists. Showcased within this exhibition was an extensive collection of Hassan Sharif's artworks, an illustrious artistic figure. Other contemporary Emirati artists’ works were also showcased, generously loaned by the UAE’s Ministry of Culture and Youth, and include Mohammed Kazem, Farah Al Qasimi, Alaa Edris, Zuhoor Al Sayegh, and Taqwa Al Naqbi. It was a celebration of the finest in artistic renditions and revealed the power of art in transforming mindsets and inspiring positive changes in the world around us. Certainly, one can find a compendium of beautiful influences from the Arab diaspora all across the globe. This group has always stood out, remarkably and everlastingly, with its exquisite tableau of artistic brilliance that enriched the global cultural landscape. .
