Yasmin


With the theme of Remberence (and also Ive been working alot with the idea of death and memory) I have been looking at different ways we can reinforce and reinvoke memories.

I hate to repeat it again and again, but with what is currently happening  in Syria I am finding it very hard to distance my university work from my personal life, and have as a result, been trying to find ways that can combine both artistic pratice and awareness of the Syrian revolution.

In regards to Syria, my main aim is not only to raise awareness to the public, but also to commedate those who have passed away (i.e remember them.) So my recent work includes doing projections around London, where I have shown a series of stats and then included a short quasi-poem. These projections have been filmed (which is what I could show at the exhibition) and have been uploaded to youtube.
