A JOURNEY FROM
THE EAST TO THE WEST

Art and humanity have gone hand in hand since the dawn of time, serving as a mirror of society, a beacon of cultural identity, and a bridge connecting varied communities.
Art has not only recorded human history, but also shaped it, influencing ideas, igniting revolutions, and creating an ever-pressing desire to understand our surroundings.

Over the years, the American Syrian Arab Cultural Association (ASACA) has occupied a place in helping people in the motherland Syria and abroad in various ways. Our journey this time through the world of art is not only a pursuit of beauty and creativity, but it is also a commitment to preserving the work of artists who inspire us, with the hope of being one of their gateways to the future.

Each piece of art in this exhibition has been selected from the private collection of Mrs Rana Lotfi. Rana is a Syrian artist who graduated from the Faculty of Fine Arts – Damascus University. Rana seeks to achieve a goal of supporting Syrian artists or any initiative that can benefit art and artists.
ASACA plays a role in supporting arts and artists across different dimensions, providing them with valuable opportunities to connect with the world while emphasizing on the preservation of Syrian cultural heritage and traditional art forms.

From Suwayda to Damascus, passing through Latakia, Aleppo and Al-Hasakah, we present to you
From East To West, an art exhibition in which the sun kisses both horizons with equal enthusiasm.
This exhibition holds the dreams, ambitions, fears and warnings of all those who dared to look east, west – and beyond.
