اليوم استلمنا أول صور لمعرض الداونتاون منذ بداية الحرب. كما ترون في الصور فقد مجموعة كبيرة من الاعمال الفنية ما زالت سليمة بالاضافة لبعض ادوات التفريم.

للاسف لم تسلم الخزنة و قد تم فتحها و نهب مافيها (الصورة 3)
كما قد تم تاكيد وجود أفراد من الدعم السريع يقيمون داخل مساحة المعرض و هي المساحة التي لم تظهر في الصور.

الحمد لله على كل حال و الحمدلله على سلامة فريق عملنا ، مجاهد الهادي و محمد عصام.

مدير المعرض

Today we have received the first photos of the gallery state since the beginning of the war. As you see a large collection of the artworks are still safe along with some of our framing equipment.

Unfortunately, our safe faced a differe outcome and has been looted (picture 3).

It also has been confirmed that the RSF are residing inside the gallery as we speak in the space that does not appear in these photos.

We are still thankful for our well being and for the wellbeing of our team Mojahid Alhadi & Mohammed Issam.

السلام عليكم ، بعد الحديث مع عدد ممن يهمهم امر التشكيليين في ظل الظروف الراهنة قمنا بإنشاء هذه الاستمارة لتفقد مجتمع الفنانين و محاولة توجيه من يريد ان يساعد بصورة استراتيجية و ذات قيمة عالية.
نأمل ان نستطيع عبر هذه الحملة اعانة اكبر عدد من التشكيليين. و كان الله في عوننا جميعا و حفظنا و حفظكم.
