Organized in collaboration with the Syrian Ministry of Culture, the exhibit features visual depictions of the harsh conditions and reported abuses in regime prisons, focusing on individuals forcibly disappeared over the years. The event began with a performance by the Gardenia Choir and includes works that aim to document the suffering endured by detainees and their families. Organizers said the exhibit seeks to preserve memory and promote public dialogue, using art as a medium to reflect on human rights and advocate for accountability. The exhibition will remain open to the visitors until June 6. Writing by Aleyna Cil
