Homs-Sana
The paintings of the 70th photography exhibition, organized by the Ornina Cultural Forum with the participation of 7 artists and amateur and professional photographers, carried the pulse of the city of Homs, its heritage and antiquities, even the faces and expressions of its people and what passed through it during the war, and was hosted by the archaeological hall of the Syriac Catholic Archdiocese.
In a statement to SANA's correspondent between the Archbishop of the Archdiocese of Homs, Hama and its Syriac Catholic dependencies, Jack Murad, the value of this exhibition stems from its documentation of the memory of ancient Homs, pictures, objects and places, including what no longer exists now, which reflects the civilization and thought in this place.
He pointed to the symbolism of the archaeological hall in which the exhibition was held, which dates back to the nineteenth century, and is one of the ancient landmarks of Homs.
The Director of the Ornina Cultural Forum, Raymond Kabroun, pointed out that the image is the history and memory of a homeland that documents our heritage and preserves our civilization to be transmitted to future generations.
Photographer Omar Daghestani pointed out that the exhibition includes daily documentary footage from the beginning of the crisis to the present day and the stages of the recovery of the city of Homs from terrorism and how it was during the presence of terrorist groups in it, as well as pictures from the northern and western countryside of Homs, Palmyra and Qal'at al-Hosn, pictures of daily life, portraits of faces and drawing with light.
Among the participants in the exhibition, Engineer Magda Hanna indicated that she participated about 11 pictures that embody the heritage of the city of Homs, including (Hammam Al-Osaiani, famous in Homs, a picture of Karjia Haddad Palace "Mahish Palace", and snapshots of heritage architecture).
