The Twentieth Line: Mythic Beginnings
The Third Line
Sunny Rahbar and Claudia Cellini (Co-founders of The Third Line) and Shumon Basar (Curator, The Only Way Out is Through) in conversation with Tirdad Zolghadr (Writer-Curator) about the gallery’s 20th anniversary exhibition and two-decades of time travel in Dubai, the Gulf and world history.
The Only Way Out Is Through is punctuated by conversations with key protagonists from The Third Line’s story, its fellow travellers and adjacent territories. This oral history — which is as forwards looking as it is rear-view oriented — completes this portrait of the last 20 years, also hereby known as The Twentieth Line.
