CAMBSEDITION.CO.UK MAY 2024 07 Don’t miss this powerful exhibition from Syrian artist Issam Kourbaj. Showing at the Heong Gallery, the vital display assembles works from across the 13 years of the Syrian conflict and boldly tackles themes of displacement and migration. Although Issam himself has called Cambridge home since 1990, the artist questions the true meaning of the word – especially for the millions of migrants forced to leave their original place of belonging. Despite leaving his native homeland, we see how the artist still makes the journey there daily through the work of his own two hands. This display runs alongside a concurrent exhibition, Urgent Archive , at Kettle’s Yard. Catch both before they end on 26 May . You Are Not You and Home Is Not Home – last chance!
