When
a new message arises, it requires a new platform, searching for an identity
after centuries of colonization followed by war, unrest and mass migration, and
seeks to build an environment that giving platform to the issues in
contemporary art. Giving a voice to contemporary Syrian Art and help it mature.
After
a long devastating war that affected every household in this country and led to
the immigrations of thousands of talented youths. Zawaya was founded as an
initiative to rebuild the art scene in Syria. Zawaya is a platform to promote
emerging Syrian artists and give them a space to communicate and convey their
work freely, a place where contemporary art can foster.
We
are Syrians of different generations have come together to create an environment
which fosters appreciation and understanding of contemporary art. Our aim is to
support both emerging and senior Syrian artists to express who they are, create
an innovative and contemporary art scene and stimulate dialogue.
Our
goal at Zawaya is to be a multicultural place that hosts art in all of its
forms. We aspire to build a bridge between local Syrian artists and the
international art community through exhibitions and ongoing events.
The
gallery is not reliant on just the market but by the people, situations and
places it encounters, at a 92 years old building located in the heart of
Damascus.
