David Najib Kasir: Math of Four Minute Warnings

@ ARC Gallery

1463 W Chicago Ave, Chicago, IL 60642

Opening Thursday, March 6th, from 5PM - 8PM

On view through Friday, March 28th

Math of Four Minute Warnings is an exhibition that interrogates the role Western media plays in constructing cultural narratives, while centering a caring and concerning lens on the destruction of Syria and its people through large-scale paintings. For Kasir, the works start from a personal place. “Iraq is my father’s country, and Syria is my mother’s as well as the second home of my youth. It is where my aunts, uncles and cousins were living. It is where there are buildings where I slept in and streets where I played tag and other games as a child. I’ve witnessed years of destruction of my countries from US invasion, with very little regard from Western mainstream media to civilian casualties.”
