Exhibition Tour: The Syria I Found Again
Salwan Georges guides visitors through his return to Syria, tracing how conflict reshapes landscapes, relationships, and the meaning of home. The exhibition moves beyond visible destruction to address absence, memory, and the quieter aftermath of war.
As the tour progresses, emphasis is placed on photographing in environments marked by loss and uncertainty. The walk explores how access is negotiated, how risk is managed, and how editing choices help convey emotional weight without relying on spectacle.
