Student Juried Show: Our Positions
Collaged pieces of Turkish-made fabric and images corresponding to symbols of destruction and migration allude to the displacement of Syrian refugees who have found solace in Turkey. My Syrian background comes from my father’s side of the family, who thankfully left Syria before the civil war, but conversations about the war were essential to our knowledge on identity. I want viewers to think critically on their current knowledge of the Syrian civil war, and the difficulty of taking on a new identity due to one’s displacement.
