Experience a gallery that unites stories of courage and the human spirit's enduring. Born in Kurdistan/ Iraq, Harem takes us through a journey that defies the adversity shaped by childhood experiences of tragedy and misplacement.

 

A captivating realm of a refugee artist whose creations traverse borders and encapsulate the spirit of resilience. Harem witnessed the horrors of his town's chemical attack as a child. Growing up in a refugee camp, he turned to art as a language to express the silent suffering of children in war's wake. His work reflects global tragedies, a testament to the strength of those who endure.

Harem's art offers a glimpse of hope amidst the turmoil. He transformed his creativity into a shield against a terrifying reality. Join us in celebrating the artistic journey that resonates with individuals worldwide, fostering understanding, compassion, and unity.

With eight solo exhibitions and over 40 co-exhibitions, Harem's art speaks volumes, resonating with diverse audiences.

In the spirit of storytelling, we pause to honour this land's ancient and contemporary narratives. We stand upon the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations.

Just as we celebrate the diverse voices of immigrant and refugee artists, we recognize the First Peoples who have woven this place's first and enduring tales. Their stories are a testament to resilience, creativity, and the power of community. As we come together from many corners of the world, may we always remember, respect, and learn from this land's stories.

Thanks for subscribing!
