Syrian Artists: Ethical Witnesses From Behind the Lines
In the midst of a conflict that has gripped the entire world, a connection created through art is bringing Penticton and Syria closer together.
Humam Alsalim, a Syrian architect, founding member of SYRIA-ART and co-founder of the Cyrrus Gallery, an online art gallery for young, contemporary Syrian artists is co-curating the latest exhibition at the Penticton Art Gallery.
Behind The Lines – Contemporary Art from Syria is a traveling exhibition. The exhibition hosts 20 artists with 100 works across multiple formats including video, photography, painting and sculptures.
