Syria Speaks

In Syria, culture has become a critical line of defence

against tyranny.

Syria Speaks is a celebration of a people determined to

reclaim their dignity, freedom and self-expression. It

showcases the work of over fifty artists and writers who

are challenging the culture of violence in Syria. Their

literature, poems and songs, cartoons, political posters

and photographs document and interpret the momentous

changes that have shifted the frame of reality so drastically

in Syria.

Moving and inspiring, Syria Speaks is testament to the

courage, creativity and imagination of the Syrian people.

A unique anthology providing a window into Syrian art and

writing since the uprising. Contributors include
