supporting the development of a comparison between free aesthetic experiences that represent the changing and multifaceted face of the contemporary world.

At Biennale Arte 2017 the Syrian Arab Republic Pavilion will be a TRIBUTE to the ancient artistic city of PALMYRA, where everything remember us its importance in Art and Culture. For willingness of its Commissioner and Curator, Emad Kashout, each artist, on his own way, will be asked to attest the importance of leaving prints and evidence of human passage in human existence.

“ ‘Not a day goes by where you do not hear news about Palmyra and all the world
in suspense about the fate of one of the most important archaeological sites in the Middle East’.
[…] Everything witnesses its importance in the ancient past, and everything prevents us from forgetting its deep art breathing in our daily existence. In spite of events, in spite of nowadays human lack of the sense of beauty. Palmyra’s history is an important piece of mankind’s history and that’s why it is undisputable to preserve its memory and protect it for the present and future generations. Art and artists have been working hard for ages to present and preserve CIVILIZATION at best. Thanks to them, once more, EVERYBODY (still) ADMIRES PALMYRA’S GREATNESS.”
