Artwork in the Damascus pavilion

Artwork by Muhammad Ali taken at Damascus Pavilion at Amsterdam Biennale 2009 Damascus pavilion. The Damascus pavilion is a conceptual installation about the stereotypes that people from the West have of Arabs. The sisters Abir and Nisrine Boukhari put Syrian newspapers on the ground with shouting headlines about acts of terrorism and hang fashion items on the wall which play with the stereotypes, such as a pink sparkling belt that refers to the terrorist belt with bombs.
