Coffee "Gahwa" Cups by Lest We Forget

Numerous family photographs shared with the Lest We Forget archive show home interiors decorated with the same motif. Inspired by the once popular red-and-white floral patterns, this Arabic coffee cup is a nostalgic reminder of Emirati home décor in the 1970s and 1980s.

Lest We Forget is an innovative archival and research initiative that documents Emirati vernacular cultural memory and generates contemporary responses through the use of artistic language. Lest We Forget collaborates with individuals, families and communities to create artistic books, exhibitions, films, animations, product designs and even an opera.
