It's not just around the corner, it's not easy to organize yourself to go there by August 15th, the closing date. However, Sama Alshaibi's exhibition at the Bassam Freiha Art Foundation in Abu Dhabi deserves a mention and a virtual visit. Also so as not to miss the opportunity to see in real life the works of this Iraqi-Palestinian photographer who teaches photography at the University of Tucson, Arizona, when there is an opportunity: and there certainly will be.
