\"Artistic exhibition for resistance\"

The Iranian Cultural Chancellery in Damascus has organized an exhibition titled 'Artistic Exhibition for Resistance' encompassing more than 50 artworks by 13 Syrian and Palestinian artists and more than 40 Iranian artists. The exhibits varied between oil paintings, caricatures, graphics and sculptures as the exhibition embraced the artworks which won in the International Resistance Arts Festival held in Iran, in addition to the paintings which won in another competition organized by the Iranian Cultural Chancellery. Assistant Minister of Culture, Ali al-Qayyim told SANA that the exhibition stresses the unity of the artistic visions presented by the participating artists, indicating that the displayed paintings express the necessity of finding new artistic and expressionist spaces binding the Arab and Iranian people and their desire to liberate the occupied Arab territories. "We usually welcome such artistic events which express the aspirations of the Syrian and Iranian people and represent their joint struggle in facing the occupation and injustice," Minister al-Qayyim said.
