In this episode of the Apollo 40 under 40 podcast, Gabrielle Schwarz speaks to the artist Rayyane Tabet at Parasol Unit in London, where his exhibition ‘Encounters’ is currently installed (until 14 December). Tabet talks about the roles of Lebanese history and language in his work, as well as his fascination with the lives of objects.
