acropolis michael rakowitz athens allspice mesopotamia 1234755193

Michael Rakowitz's survey exhibition "Allspice" opened at the Acropolis Museum in Athens in 2025, featuring works that explore Iraqi cultural heritage, displacement, and the politics of looting. The show includes his series "The invisible enemy should not exist" (2007–), which reconstructs artifacts looted from Baghdad's National Museum of Iraq after the 2003 US invasion using Arabic food wrappers and newspapers, as well as a video work documenting his effort to import Iraqi dates labeled with their true country of origin for the first time in three decades.

Michael Rakowitz's survey exhibition "Allspice" at the Acropolis Museum in Athens explores themes of cultural displacement, looting, and historical narrative through works like his series "The invisible enemy should not exist" (2007–), which reconstructs looted artifacts from Baghdad's National Museum of Iraq using Arabic food wrappers and newspapers. The show also features his 2004 video "Return," documenting his effort to import Iraqi dates labeled as "product of Iraq" to the US after decades of sanctions, and includes interventions with the museum's own collection, such as a Cypriot head he linked to Assyrian art.
