في أواخر العام الماضي، خسرنا محمد بكري، قامة كبيرة رسخت نفسها في ذاكرة المسرح والسينما الفلسطينية والعربية. عرفه العالم رمزًا كبيرًا لا يغيب. أما نجم غلافنا، آدم بكري، فعرفه أباً حنوناً. يخبرنا آدم: “كان شخصيةً استثنائية. مع أنه في طفولتي كان بعيدًا كثيرًا، مسافرًا دومًا، مشغولًا بالمسرح دومًا، لكنه حين كان حاضرًا، كان حاضرًا بكلّه.” وخير دليل على كلامه أنه شدّ الرحال من فلسطين إلى نيويورك ليحضر أول دور رئيسي لابنه في مسرحية، وأسفر عن ذلك لحظة محورية في حياة آدم كممثل وكإنسان.
Late last year, we lost Mohammad Bakri, a towering figure in Palestinian theatre and cinema and an iconic figure by every measure. To the world, he was a monument. To his son, @adambakri , our cover star, he was a father who was often away, consumed by a theatre, a cause, a magnitude of presence that filled every room he entered, and who, when he was there, was entirely there. So much so that he flew all the way from Palestine to New York to watch Adam’s first leading role in play, a moment that would cement him as an actor and as a person.
كان آدم بكري جالساً في قاعة سينما مُعتمة خلال العرض الأول لفيلم "كل اللي باقي منك"، حين مدّ والده محمد بكري يده وضغط على يد ابنه، قائلًا: "بس عشان تكون عارف، إنت بيرفكت."
بعد أشهر قليلة، غاب محمد بكري عن عالمنا، في الأسبوع الثاني لآدم من تصوير مسلسل "صحاب الأرض" الذي يجسّد فيه شخصية صحفي غزاويّ في خضمّ حزنٍ كان يعيشه في الواقع، لا على الشاشة فقط.
حاورنا الممثل الفلسطيني ونجم غلافنا لعدد ربيع 2026 في حديث عن الفقد والإيمان وقداسة الفن.

Adam Bakri was sitting in a darkened cinema during the premiere of All That’s Left of You, when his father Mohammad Bakri reached over and pressed his son’s hand. “Just so you know,” he said quietly. “You’re perfect.” A few months later, Mohammad passed, two weeks into the shoot of Indigenous, the Ramadan drama that would ask Adam to embody a Gaza journalist in the shadow of grief he was living in real time.
In our Spring 2026 issue, @sami.abdelbaki sits down with the Palestinian actor to talk about loss, faith, and why he still believes, without question, in the sanctity of art.
“How would I know what mark a single line in a film, or a single piece of music, might leave on a human soul?” our cover star says. “It could be vast.”

And no one Cannes.
As the 79th edition of the festival opens on the Croisette, we remember Omar Sharif. From moments with Norwegian screen legend Liv Ullmann (and a young lion cub?) to walking the red carpet with Haifa Wehbe, he arrived at the world’s most glamorous film festival and made it his own.
“What’s wrong with love?” ❤️
It’s the question that never left Abdulaziz Al-Hosni, asked first in high school, where drawing hearts and loving pink were enough to get you ridiculed. Instead of abandoning those instincts, @azizzlll built an entire world around them.
Now, the Omani photographer is one of the most compelling young artists working today, assembling dancers into heart formations, embroidering kummahs with white hearts, and placing men who have never modelled before in front of his lens, asking them to show up exactly as they are.
In our latest issue, Aziz opens up about growing up on a farmhouse in North Oman, the making of Qalb Mahmood, and why he’s still putting his heart out there.

Joy is often found not in the act itself, but in the quiet moments between action, when time loosens its grip and the mind is free to wander. These are the intervals for reflection and contemplation, a gentle drift of thought that rarely finds room within the urgency of doing. What might once have been dismissed as idleness reveals itself as something richer, a chance to linger with one’s thoughts and to find pleasure not in movement or achievement, but simply in being.

We’re eleven days in and May is delivering. From retrospectives and art fairs to fundraisers and new exhibitions, this month’s cultural calendar is stacked, and there’s still plenty of time to catch what matters. Mark your calendars, and your maps.
@prada has always understood that colour is its own argument, mood, and position. For Spring/Summer 2026, Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons arrived with a change of tone, making the case in crimson gabardine and electric green knit, in pink-beige satin and deep cobalt.

The catch of the season.
We went off the deep end to find the season’s most beautiful pieces, diving past the obvious. What surfaced was a chest full of treasures that reward a second glance and a third. Consider this your deep-sea dispatch.

In the words of an Unreal Engine Julia Fox: “Do you sense that you are living in a world that literally makes no f*cking sense?”
Welcome to the club. According to @hadyafif , AI slop is not the death of internet culture, it’s the purest most optimised reflection of it. From thirst-trappy influencers to politicians shaking hands, we are already in a post-slop era of the internet. Must we find a way to navigate or is the goop worth exploring?
