About this book

Syrian artists and cultural practitioners dispersed across the world continue to carry their abandoned cities as a central presence. Through testimonies and visual material, this book follows attempts to reinvent Damascus, Daraa, Homs, Latakia and Deir ez-Zor in Cairo, Beirut, Istanbul, Berlin, Paris and elsewhere. Longing, anger, orphanhood and hope produce new personal maps. The volume is a collective meditation on how exile transforms the relationship between artistic practice, memory and the urban spaces people call home.
