sharq.org commissioned three artists to produce works inspired by the oral history collection Syrian Histories. the works were exhibited at a multidisciplinary event held in Beirut in 2019 to celebrate the Tarikhi story archive.
artists: Madonna Adib, Ghenwa Abou Fayad, mirella salame
the artworks were as diverse in nature and style as the stories that inspired them and were commissioned in a bid to highlight to artists the inspirational quality of stories and personal narratives. sharq.org encourages artists, cultural actors, journalists, researchers and other creatives to explore the Tarikhi archive of 500 stories recorded during the revolution years and to offer new ways of communicating and sharing them.
