Professor Mohammad Al-Ameri discusses the role of “the will” in arts and literature, based on Mahmoud Darwish’s poem ‘To a Young Poet’, which inspired the title of Darat al Funun’s 30th anniversary celebration, and on the spoken message Syrian artist Marwan gave to young artists in his final days.  

The discussion includes an open dialogue with the artists and creatives who believe in our vision, accompanied us on our journey throughout the past three decades and participated in Darat al Funun’s three consecutive exhibitions during 2018, which mark 30 years since the launch of our initiative.

The talk will be in Arabic.
