In the latest issue of The Markaz Review, Arie Amaya-Akkermans reflects on two powerful exhibitions: Wavering Hope at Ayyam Gallery and Tracing the Unseen: Landscapes of Memory and Metaphor at the Atassi Foundation.
Both shows explore how Syrians, especially artists, have navigated over a decade of exile and conflict. Through their work, these artists use art as a form of survival, resistance, and remembrance, confronting ongoing struggles with resilience and creativity.
Despite censorship and hardship, art has endured. It remains a vital medium for liberation, storytelling, and the preservation of identity.
