Arab Apocalypse
The exhibition’s title, A sun yellow with anger, is borrowed from Etel Adnan’s manuscript of The Arab Apocalypse shown in our ground floor space. Published in 1980 amidst the Lebanese civil war, the collection of poems reflects on the dislocation of the Arab world. The journey through the 51 chapters is accompanied by a sound piece, with Corinna Harfouch’s reading in German and Milia Ayache in English.
