On December 2nd,  the launch of exhibition-experience ARAB WINTER is going to be underway at Under Pressure’s Fresh Paint Gallery in Montreal, Canada.

Arab Winter will be the first exhibit in Montreal to showcase collective installations, paintings, collage, photography, and calligraphy by Iraqi-Canadian family Sundus Abdul Hadi, Tamara Abdul Hadi , and Sawsan AlSaraf, and Tunisian brother-in-arms eL Seed and Karim Jabbari.

Musically curated by Montreal’s own The Narcicyst, you are invited to a world where your freedom is in question, your countries are in limbo, your identity is in flux, and your dreams are put on ice.

“We plan to present you our rendition of the First day after the storm. Come with your boots and walk through the Arab street post-revolution. If you could freeze time, which questions would you try to answer?” says The Narcicyst.

EL Seed adds, “this is not a regular exhibit – you will leave Montreal and be transported to the streets of Tunis, Damascus, Iraq, and Cairo.”

Join us from December 2rd to December 24th for the first ever collaboration of local artists from the East under the banner of world-renowned Graffiti convention connoisseurs Under Pressure.

The exhibition launch will take place on December 2nd at 7 pm at the Under Pressure Fresh Paint Gallery located at 180 Saint-Catherine East.
