Hrair Sarkissian: The Other Side of Silence (Booklet)

This exhibition booklet is a record of the first mid-career survey of works by artist Hrair Sarkissian. It includes a Foreword by Hoor Al Qasimi and introductory text by co-curator of the exhibition Omar Kholeif.

The Other Side of Silence explores the myriad ways in which contested histories are narrated and distributed through images. The exhibition takes the audiences on an expansive journey through the hollowed squares of Aleppo, Latakia and Damascus, across the skies above Palmyra and over the snow-covered post-industrial landscapes of modern-day Armenia. The Other Side of Silence brings together two major new commissions by the artist and more than a dozen of his most significant bodies of work from the past 15 years.
