“Syria: Art in a Time of Crisis"

Experience Home Within, an audio-visual project by Syrian composer and clarinetist Kinan Azmeh and Syrian-Armenian visual artist Kevork Mourad, as the duo reflects on the Syrian revolution and its aftermath. Created with the intention of raising awareness for Syrian refugees, this work features original music by the clarinetist with live illustration depicting specific moments in Syria’s recent history. Following Home Within, the two artists — both members of the Silk Road Ensemble — will join award-winning international correspondent Deborah Amos to discuss the impact of war on our sense of “home,” and how they use image and sound to establish a sense of sustained urgency and continued hope for both their homeland and communities around the world.
