Witness Of The Land

On January 4th, "Witness of the Land" (شاهد على الأرض) opened at Darkroom not even one month after Bashar al Assad fled to Russia. Despite this sequence of events, the exhibition, organised with the support of the Institut Français de Jordanie, remains unchanged despite the upheaval in Syria. And still, it is as timely as ever. Putting on display the works of several amateur and professional Syrian photographers, the show spotlights their multifarious perspectives on the Syrian experience, its layered and sometimes fractured variety, but intimate all the same.
