Modern &
Contemporary Middle Eastern Art has rarely
been given on an academic level let alone in the format
of a short class. The syllabus will be specially designed
to examine the key movements of Middle Eastern art
starting from the 1950s to the present day. The class
will cover various artists such as Paul Guiragossian,
Rabab El Nemr, Farhad Moshiri, Walid Raad, Shirin
Neshat, etc. Throughout the class, a political synopsis
will accompany the artistic content in order to contextualise
it. The geographical scope of the course includes
the Levant, the Gulf and Iran.

Barakat, Paul Hewitt, Rose Issa and William Lawrie.
Understanding
Jewellery & Watches will cover a wealth
of subjects such as the evolution of value, history,
