Curated by Amin Alsaden the exhibition What of the eternal harm lurking all around? at the McMaster Museum of Art features works by Sadik Kwaish Alfraji, among others.
The exhibition explores how artists, both past and present, have grappled with representing conflict. By juxtaposing historical works from the McMaster Museum’s collection with contemporary pieces by artists from regions affected by war, it moves beyond traditional depictions of battle to confront the enduring emotional, cultural, and psychological impacts of violence.
