In the exhibition BeLonging: Michael Rakowitz and the Mesopotamian collection, sculptures by American-Iraqi contemporary artist Michael Rakowitz are shown together with displaced Mesopotamian artifacts from Medelhavsmuseet’s collection, some of them up to 4 500 years old. The video work The Ballad of Special Ops Cody on the big screen in the atrium is part of the exhibition, highlighting both the loss of Middle Eastern cultural heritage and the human suffering imposed by war, political upheaval, and foreign occupation.
