To mark the inauguration of Leighton House’s Centennial Commissions, join us on for a panel discussion bringing together multidisciplinary artist Ramzi Mallat, researcher and curator Nadine Nour El Din, art historian Dr Melanie Gibson, and scholar and curator Chiara De Nicolais. Moderated by Hannah Lund, curator of exhibitions and displays at Leighton House Museum, the conversation will explore the Legacies and Futures of the Arab Hall.

Taking the Arab Hall as both a material space and cultural construct, the discussion will explore its layered histories while also considering how such spaces are read, reinterpreted, and activated today. Moving between past and present, the panel will address questions of stewardship, power, and care, while exploring how this might inform future curatorial, artistic, and institutional practices beyond static heritage narratives.

Useful information:
Doors open at 6:30pm for the chance to view Ramzi Mallat’s commission and the exhibitions.

Panel discussion runs from 7pm-8:30pm. Doors close at 9pm
