The Lost Paintings , a Prelude to Return is an imagined recreation of the last exhibition held in Palestine by Palestinian-Lebanese artist Maroun Tomb , which opened on November 29, 1947, in Haifa. This significant date coincided with the UN’s approval of the Partition Plan of Palestine, an event that ignited the war and subsequent events known as the Nakba, or “catastrophe,” during which approximately 750,000 Palestinians were expelled from their homeland. Shortly after the opening, Tomb and his family were forced into exile and never allowed to return to their homes. The fate of the 53 oil paintings presented in the exhibition, as well as most of Tomb’s pre-1948 body of work, was lost to the war and its ensuing chaos. Maroun Tomb The Lost Paintings project will convene 53 artists from across Palestine and the diaspora to each create their own interpretation of a single lost painting from the original exhibition, based on the few remaining records – the invitation to the 1947 open

Following the iconic Downside Up on the lampposts of Shoreditch in 2016, renowned street artist Pejac has made a striking return to the streets of London with two new urban artworks. These pieces are part of HOPE , a pioneering print project in collaboration with Avant Arte. The collaboration follows a month-long residency by Pejac at Make-Ready, Avant Arte’s London-based print studio. This residency provided Pejac with the opportunity to experiment and create within a dedicated space, culminating in the upcoming launch of the HOPE project later this summer. The first mural, titled ICARUS, is located in Bethnal Green. This piece serves as a metaphor for contemporary life in the big city. Much like the classic fable of Icarus, who flew too close to the sun and fell to his demise, the mural depicts the ambition and burnout many experience in urban environments. It reflects the pressures and aspirations of city life, reminding viewers of the delicate balance between ambition and well-

The streets of Aberdeen , Scotland, have been recently graced by a stunning mural by Cbloxx aka Jay Gilleard, an acclaimed English muralist, painter, and multidisciplinary artist. This remarkable piece, curated by Nuart Aberdeen , showcases Cbloxx’s exceptional talent and deep-rooted interest in historical narratives. Photo by Clarke Joss Photography In anticipation of the Nuart Aberdeen festival, Cbloxx embarked on an in-depth exploration of Scotland’s ancient native people, the Picts. As Cbloxx explains, “On the run up to Nuart Aberdeen I began researching ancient native people of Scotland, in particular the Picts, a vanished nation, chronicled by Vikings and Romans but not by themselves. The Picts communicate their own existence to us only through their carved stones which are intensely scattered across Aberdeenshire and the east. The last pagans in Scotland before religious conversion, displacement, and cultural erasure.” Photo by Brian Tallman This historical inquiry into
