TOURAB TALKS
The image in Syrian visual art today: Violence, Victims, and Volatility in Art market.
The representational choice of the image of the abused body in Syria today is highly argued , to what extent we reached a dead-end in stimulating public opinion empathy? What are the challenges of Syrian visual artists in their position from the abused body ?

With visual artists Fadi Al Hamwi, Sulafa Hijazi and Khalil Younes moderated by Dr. Raschanack Shaery (Antwerp University)
