Title
The Exiled-1, by Qais Al-Sindy (USA)
Creator
Description
People leaving their country forcibly. The big cube represents the Homeland. They are carrying each other. They are leaving their country, but, their country will NOT leave them.
We know that history is always written by the winners. Yet, for me; we the artists are making the history to be encoded according to our dreams and wishes to make our world be better. The crises of exiled people as a consequence of the terrorism is one of the major problems that we have to archive in our encoded Histories. It is certainty produced at the point where the imperfections of memory meet the inadequacies of documentation! There are few among us who have the insight and ability to carve history itself; but each of us can work to affect a small portion. These small acts, scenes and fragments of art will be written into the history of our generation. My art attempts to add to that history.
This artwork was exhibited in the exhibition titled: Encoded Histories in Gallery of La Mesa College in California, USA
