Aga Khan Museum Explores the Resilience of Culture in Times of Conflict
Category: Syria
Syrian-American composer and pianist Malek Jandali has created a modern rendition of the song for a new exhibit at the Aga Khan Museum in Toronto.
Syrian Symphony: New Compositions In Sight And Sound, at Aga Khan Museum, May 20 to August 17.
Part of the Atassi Foundation “Syria: Into the Light” exhibition Program, Art Dubai Modern Symposium
“Behind the Syrians we hear about on the news are people who are a part of a wonderful heritage.” — Henry Kim, Director and CEO, Aga Khan Museum.
They came from Damascus, Aleppo, Banias, and beyond — and now they live in camps and abandoned buildings as Syria becomes a haunting memory. In this intimate and compelling drama, a Syrian woman prepares kibbeh in her kitchen while recounting tales of her vanished lover, bringing to life a land torn apart by civil war.
The exhibition marks the fourth year of partnership between Art Dubai, The Aga Khan Museum, the Consulate General of Canada in Dubai and the Ismaili Centre Dubai.
