b'
The tragic human cost of the bombardment of the Gaza Strip in the Israel-Hamas war is well documented. What is now becoming clear is how many historic buildings and sites have also been destroyed. We talk to Sarvy Geranpayeh, a correspondent for The Art Newspaper in the Middle East, about the fate of heritage in Gaza. As a huge exhibition of the work of Emily Kam Kngwarray, perhaps the most celebrated of all Indigenous Australian artists, opens at the National Gallery of Australia in Canberra, we speak to the show\\u2019s curators Kelli Cole and Hetti Perkins, about her life and work. And this episode\\u2019s Work of the Week is a manuscript written by Paul Gauguin just months before he died in French Polynesia\\u2014Martin Bailey, our London correspondent, tells us more about the document, which has been acquired by The Courtauld in London.
