Aboud Salman: The Euphrates Storyteller

February 16, 2023 - May 21, 2023

The Euphrates Storyteller exhibition explores the life and experiences of Aboud Salman as a  refugee artist. It tells the artist’s tale of displacement, from his struggles and experiences amidst political turmoil and war in his home city of Al Mayadin, Syria, to his quest for peace miles away in Canada. Through a series of drawings, paintings, videos, and fabrics, the exhibition  showcases a body of works that are both a personal portrayal of the artist’s life, and  simultaneously a visual exploration of traditional Syrian folk art and it’s cultural and historical  symbols.
