Exhibit: Broken, Saria Almidani
March 30, 2023 to April 29, 2023
Friday April 7th is an opening reception at Arts Fort Worth from 6:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m.
How do I grieve my fading memory? Why do I love a city that breaks me? Will I ever feel at home? Do exile wounds heal?
In 2014, Saria sought asylum after being exiled from Syria and became a refugee in Fort Worth, TX. What does it mean to have one’s autonomy wholly taken away, life put on hold, and simply try and survive for almost a decade?
It took Saria many years to be able to articulate their questions. Questions they and many refugees face daily as they navigate the most complicated asylum systems. Saria explores the relationship between these personal questions and reflections with photography.
