This book focuses on the expanding contemporary art scene in Syria,
particularly Damascus, during the first decade of the twenty-first
century. The decade was characterized by a high degree of
experimentation as young artists began to work with artistic media
that were new in Syria, such as video, installation and performance
art. They were rethinking the role of artists in society and
looking for ways to reach audiences in a more direct manner and
address socio-cultural and socio-political issues. The Contemporary
Art Scene in Syria will be of interest to scholars of global and
Middle Eastern art studies, and also to scholars interested in the
recent social and cultural history of Syria and the wider Middle
East.
