On the Demolition of Al Sawaber
On the Demolition of Al Sawaber

This work was the first of Al Rashid’s series of artworks that illustrate modern architectural heritage, and the systemic demolition of historical buildings in Kuwait. Here, viewers can observe the shock and disappointment of activists as they watch the demolition of the Al Sawaber Complex right in front of their eyes, despite their efforts to prevent such cruel fate. However, the positive result of this occurrence is that it noticeably increased society’s awareness about the need to
preserve historical buildings, including modern heritage. The Al Sawaber Complex was built in 1979, and was designed by British architect Arthur Ericson. It is considered to have been the first multi-story form of group housing in the country.
Also in this work is the Imam Al Sadiq Mosque, which witnessed bombings in 2017. It was incorporated by Al Rashid in this work as a memorial of those who passed away, as well as a symbol of coexistence and history appreciation.
