This exhibition

is a collection of work by displaced Syrian artists. With the support of the British Council, 'Syria: Third Space' demonstrates the roles that artists play in supporting recovery and resilience. It seeks to show how artists can break boundaries, support and unite communities, re-interpret and offer alternative viewpoints through their practice.

Syria: Third Space

is part of the global 'Artists in Recovery' programme in response to working in countries and regions in crisis. Through a structured small grants scheme, 78 small grants were given to displaced Syrian artists in more than 10 countries. The exhibition highlights the vital roles artists play as storytellers, conveners, facilitators, spokespeople and the alternative space they provide (Third Space).
