Exhibition:Stories of Refuge: Three asylum seekers in Germany shoot a day in their lives in refugee camps

  • Institute for the Humanities Gallery 202 South Thayer Street Ann Arbor, MI, 48104 United States (map)

Since the beginning of the Syrian revolution in 2011, Syrian refugees have been fleeing the brutal regime in search of safe haven. Munich, Germany, is one of the cities many Syrian refugees land after crossing unofficial borders through different European countries. Lebanese artist Tania El Khoury, and her art collective Dictaphone Group, collaborated with a group of Syrian refugees who had recently arrived in Munich. El Khoury gave each of these participants/collaborators a discreet camera for a day, their only instructions being to film their daily lives in Munich. Together they produced three videos, presented in this installation and viewed from bunk bed barracks in the gallery. Friday Jan 24 - Sunday Feb 2, 5:30-7pm “As Far As My Fingertips Take Me” An intimate, one-to-one performance piece, presented in conjunction with UMS.
