300 ROSS AVE Opening 6-10pm: F*ck War by Bîstyek
"I am Syrian, Kurdish-born, and no stranger to dealing with war having been displaced by the Syrian conflict in 2011. The F*ck War exhibit is very personal to me as the wars that have been happened and still happening everywhere and the ongoing tragedy in my hometown Efrîn and elsewhere in the world have brought up painful and personal memories, so I decided to channel my grief on to the canvas. The result is 14 new powerful pieces that will be on display for the first time."
(masking is required)
The exhibit runs until April 15th, 2022
