Syrian artists examine violence and cruelty
Print Edition
AN exhibition called “Art on the Move, Syrian Artists Today” is going on display in Cenon, France.
The exhibition presents recent artworks by Syrian artists who continue to work despite the daily trauma, and in most cases, displacement. The artists, some of whom are well-established in the international art scene, continued to create during the revolution, then the state of war, in Syria. Some decided to stay in their hometowns. Others are now in exile in Europe and beyond, forming one of the largest diaspora in the 21st century.
Their work depicts violence, daily life in time of war, their vision of reality, and maybe a potential future. Their work questions the violence and the meaning of art in time of war. It is both a passionate artistic view, but also, a historical testimony of the current times.
Curated by Delphine Leccas, the event runs through February 12.
