Description
Hundreds of ceramic doves are suspended over the streets of the Old City of Damascus, part of an art installation that had been set to debut before the start of Syria's war. The lifelike figurines crafted by Buthaina al-Ali, a professor at Damascus University's faculty of arts, had been gathering dust in a basement since the outbreak of Syria's conflict in 2011. Eleven years on, the 15,000 ceramic birds are finally airbound, appearing in an exhibition curated by al-Ali's students on the woes of Syria's war. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
