Veiled Aleppo

A new exhbition has arrived at the Worcester Art Museum and will run from now until June 5, 2016.

Veiled Aleppo examines the effects of the Syrian Civil War in Aleppo and Damascus.

WAM - "Sheets line the devastated streets of Aleppo, Syria, acting as shields to obscure Free Syrian Army soldiers from the view of Bashar al-Assad's security force snipers. Before the war, these sheets served a very different purpose as residents used them for privacy or to protect their homes from harsh weather. This exhibition features the work of Milan-based photojournalist Franco Pagetti, who worked in Aleppo at the start of the Syrian civil war."
