Ep3 Fabrica
from Art IN Sight Hosted by Steve Baker and Clarke Reynolds
Join us this time for our audio descitpion of Mohamad Hafez work at Fabrica Gallery, Brighton Fabrica is a visual arts organisation based in a former Regency church in the heart of Brighton, which commissions contemporary visual art installations specific to the building. https://www.fabrica.org.uk/ Mohamad Hafez describes the initial motivation for his work as being a deep homesickness. Having gone to the USA from Syria in 2003 on a single-entry visa to study architecture, he realised that he couldn’t return to his home country. As a way to address his longing for home he decided to conjure it through his art by drawing on the memories and sketches he had made whilst he was there to recreate in tiny but tangible form, the architecture and street scenes of his home city of Damascus. http://www.mohamadhafez.com/
