SYRIA. Lights and Darkness is the expres­sion of the love that all Syrian artists have for Syria their home­land, those from internal exile and those from external exile, who are now much more numerous. This exhi­bi­tion is a song of the pain of the land, of the cities and vil­lages and of the mar­tyred Syrian people, the song of resis­tance to despo­tism and des­tiny, the song of freedom and hope, of the renewal of artistic and cul­tural cre­ativity in exile and the announce­ment of a rebirth.
