The Twentieth Line

The Third Line gallery is currently running The Only Way Out Is Through: The Twentieth Line, a significant retrospective exhibition curated by Shumon Basar to mark its 20th anniversary by looking back on two decades of The Third Line’s story in relation to global cultural, political, and economic shifts. In this related conversation, hosted by Basar, prominent figures from The Third Line’s adjacent history and the Gulf’s cultural present discuss their take on the evolution in arts across multiple, accelerated transformations. Participants: Sarra Alayyan (deputy editor, Dazed MENA), Rami Farook (artist, curator, producer), Butheina Kazim (founder, Cinema Akil), Sara Bin Safwan (curator, Guggenheim Abu Dhabi).
