What role will Arab talent play in renovating British Museum galleries?

This week, Culture Bites hosts Enas Refaei and Farah Andrews discuss Lebanese architect Lina Ghotmeh’s selection to renovate the British Museum’s Western Range galleries, and how this is a major recognition of and a moment of pride for Arab architects. Farah also highlights how picking Ghotmeh might signal a shift in how the British Museum is positioning itself, as it has been under pressure to return looted artefacts, particularly from the Middle East. They also discuss Lady Gaga, who is back with a new album, Mayhem, marking her return to high-energy and electropop. Enas and Farah discuss how this compares to her past work, the nostalgia factor and what it signals for her career. Plus, our hosts share their recommendations for what to watch this week. As we're now almost halfway through Ramadan, the hosts also take a look at some of the cultural events and experiences not to miss across the UAE, from creative workshops at Sharjah Art Foundation to late-night programming at Louvre Abu Dhabi.
