Mashrabia Gallery presents a group exhibition of Syrian artists who are currently living and working in Syria, despite the difficult situation.
Through this exhibition the organizers at Mashrabia Gallery hope that the already well-known as well as the younger Syrian artists will have the possibility of gaining an even broader international visibility.
Followers of the Cairo art scene will be able to enjoy a wide spectrum of techniques, such as paintings, graphics, drawings, photography and calligraphy, as well as a variety of different styles.

The exhibition will run until March 29, 2012.
