Drawing on the context of colonial cultural appropriation through "universal exhibitions," and the narrative of Tabet's own encounter with the two figures, the Arabesque emerges as a powerful principle of inter-cultural connectivity. Looking in detail at Tabet's own appropriations and interventions with Bourgoin's publications and Morgan's architecture, the film also draws out a parallel between the work on display and the operable "cut-out" facade of the Storefront gallery.
