- Summary:
- "Issam Kourbaj was born and grew up in Syria before settling in Cambridge in 1990. Following the uprising in Syria in 2011, Kourbaj has been a constant creative witness to the continuing conflict in his home country, his art increasingly addressing the endemic pain and suffering that accompanies displacement and forced migration everywhere. Published to accompany two substantial solo exhibitions at Kettle's Yard, University of Cambridge and The Heong Gallery, Downing College, Cambridge, this new book explores the life and work of an artist characterised by collaboration and endless curiosity. Kourbaj's art is expressive and alive, suggesting even in the darkest hours the potential for change and renewal." -- Publisher's description.
