It was fascinating to interview Issam Kourbaj at Kettle’s Yard last month and my feature on his current shows is now published in Selvedge Magazine here. From sharing the influence of his grandmother on his work as a painter, to talking me through the use of fabric and participatory arts principles in much of his work – he was warm hearted, enlightening and full of inspiration. These shows are a powerful comment on current times – thank you Issam Kourbaj.
