À la synagogue, des artistes engagées « Sur les chemins de l’espoir »
At the synagogue, committed artists “On the paths of hope”
In September 2023 the Dernières Nouvelles d’Alsace published an article on the exhibition Sur les chemins de l’espoir (On the paths of hope), shown for a week at the synagogue of Brumath as part of the European Days of Jewish Culture and Heritage. Keam Tallaa showed her paintings there alongside the sculptor Sirarpi Mikaelyan.
The article recalls her path: a Syrian painter who graduated from the School of Fine Arts in Damascus, she came to France in 2017 and took up painting studies again at the Haute École des Arts du Rhin in Strasbourg.
It sees in her canvases a vision of the Arab world shaped by her own experience, and pauses on La Cage, in which the oppression and control that men and women in the Arab world live under are shown figuratively.
« Ses œuvres exposées à la synagogue de Brumath ne laissent pas de marbre. »
Her works shown at the synagogue of Brumath leave no one unmoved.
