Assemblage – Dark Nights onto Rolling Waves – Mohamad Omran & Odai Alzoubi
‘Assemblage: Dark Nights onto Rolling Waves’, is the joint work of visual artist Mohamad Omran and author Odai Alzoubi. According to them, this work “reflect[s] on the relationship between the individual, the public and power in Syria, from the 1980s to the present, by presenting nine events, some of which are exceptional and unique, while others are typical and repetitive”. Painting and text is used to analyse each event visually, and literally.
Negative – AbdulKarim Majdal Albeik
In this project, AbdulKarim Majdal Albeik examines the themes of “memory, identity, and belonging”, in the experiences of Syrian communities living in their host countries, as well as the various challenges they face. Using photographs taken in the contrasting worlds of these and creating works of art, Negative seeks to explore feelings of transformation, and to blend their experiences in order to “create a new substance”.
The program will feature four film screenings, three of which will be accompanied by three panel discussions, two immersive visual arts experiences, a collaborative vernissage, and a closing concert.
