Artist Roza El-Hassan and the Syrian lawyer Shadi Al Shhadeh will present their project which documents the movement for democracy in Syria
Artist Roza El-Hassan and the Syrian lawyer and human rights activist Shadi Al Shhadeh will present their project Zaytoon (Arabic for 'olives') which documents the movement for democracy in Syria since 2012. Their work, which takes place on Internet platforms and in publications, consists of the gathering and analysis of information and art projects as well as the support of the communication between cultural activists. Specific emphases lie on the meaning of art for society, educational projects for Syrian refugees and civil, nonviolent actions. "I call museums, galleries and the Venice Biennale to distribute the QR codes of non violent Syrian pages in form of wall paintings on the sides of the pavilions, on bags, objects and websites. I call the public to support pro-democracy movement and end of violence in Syria."
