Ty Faruki: This event will lead into a future exhibition at P21 Gallery with photography by Ty Faruki, documenting a surviving soldier in Bosnia. Art exhibition is curated by Samia Malik.
Samia Malik: As an artist and curator that has organised art exhibitions about Palestine, exposing genocidal issues through the medium of art is challenging and also an important part of my creative practice. Art is one of the strongest cultural assets of western supremacy. Opposing propagated Islamophobic media rhetoric through art is essential for truthful, decolonised cultural progression.
