Art shows to leave the house for in June 2025

Massoud Hayoun transforms familial memory into an act of cultural resistance. Drawing on his Egyptian-Tunisian roots, Hayoun paints vibrant blue portraits of loved ones and icons from Arab heritage, honouring histories of displacement, joy, and survival. These intimate yet mythic canvases reclaim visibility in the face of systemic erasure, celebrating the intergenerational strength of those who endure.
