History of Men

This painting is a reflection on the "History" they tend to teach us in schools. A History of Men, violence, murders and war. A history dominated by the male figure and violence. A patriarchal History that tends to be glorified while what it caused is a lot of destruction.

Three years ago I left the shores of the Mediterranean Sea
From #Beirut to #Brussels, I cross villages, cities and streets
The same concerns remain filling my mind and my heart
#Women’s rights, #minorities rights, #human rights
#Freedom and #dignity
So I take my #pen and I #draw to breathe
I take my #paints and I splash my thoughts away
Normaal? Wat is Normaal?
Normaal is vervelend
Niemand is illegaal
إذا أنت رجل هل يعني أنت أفضل مني؟
لا والله
الإنسان إنسان
وحقوق المرأة هي حقوق الإنسان دون تمييز
La vie est un #voyage où je brise les #frontières
Ces lignes qu’un jour, des puissants ont tracé sur une carte
Pour dresser des murs et emprisonner les esprits

Sandra Issa Exhibition

My  #project is #inspired by the tragedy happening in the #Mediterranean Sea. Thousands of #people are fleeing their war-torn homes, risking their lives to reach #Europe while seeking for #safety and a better life. We heard a lot about it in the news. But slowly, these people became just numbers of dead we count in a small article drowned in a massive amount of information. As a #citizen of the world, born in a #multicultural background, I feel moved by this #human tragedy. My project is to bring back this story in our lives. My project is an #installation of dozens and hundreds of #black and #white portraits, painted with #acrylic on #newspapers and spread like a #sea of #faces on the ground. Those faces are looking at us. They are the faces I #imagine when I think about all these people who disappeared in the bottom of the Sea. This project can also be a time-based performance: dozens of portraits flood the #space progressively. These are portraits of men and women, inspired by all these
#migrants . The portraits are made on newspaper with thick #brush and black and white paint. The #process of making these portraits can be a #live painting performance accessible to the public. This project is now being shown inside an old #swimming pool that has become an #exhibition #space in Belgium. This project was also developed during a #residency at the #Cultural Center of Namur in Belgium.
