Matahef Issue 04 Out Now
What Remains: Culture, Memory & the Duty of Recovery Between unprecedented building and unprecedented loss, this issue asks what remains, from two centuries of Egypt’s museums to Mosul‘s restored monuments, Gaza‘s rescued antiquities, and nine thousand years of Byblos.
With exclusive interviews with Anne-Claire Legendre, Daniel H.
Weiss, Venetia Porter, Claude Lemand, Suad Amiry, and more, and the debut of Ziyara.
