“Cholera”, my mural in “Ruins” campaign

 

جدارية “كوليرا”:
يموت اليمنيون الف مرة،، ولا أحد يكترث. لا أطراف الصراع، ولا المجتمع الدولي ولم نعد حتى نحن نكترث بأنفسنا. كم هو مشين أن يموت الناس هنا من مرض تافه تم القضاء عليه في معظم بلدان العالم ومنها اليمن. الاشنع من هذا انه كان بإمكان تفادي إنتشار المرض بسهولة وباقل الجهود، ولكن عدم الإكتراث بحياة اليمنيين يؤدي كل يوم إلى تزايد مرعب في عدد ضحايا الكوليرا. كم هو صعب أن تكون يمني في هذا الوقت، وكم هو أصعب أن تكون طفلاً لا يعرف سوى الف مفردة للموت.

“Cholera” Mural:
Yemenis die a thousand times, and no one cares! Not the parties of the conflict, nor the international community and even we no longer care about ourselves. It is outrageous that people here die from a trivial disease that has been eliminated in most countries of the world, including Yemen. What is more gruesome is that it was possible to avoid the spread of the disease easily and with minimal efforts, but the lack of attention to the lives of Yemenis leads every day to an alarming increase in the number of victims of cholera. It’s difficult to be a Yemeni at this time, and even more difficult to be a Yemeni child who grow up knowing only a thousand meanings of death.

“ماركة حرب”

لمست اليوم أثناء الرسم في الشارع النقمة في عيون الناس ضد هذا الصراع الكارثي وأطرافه والمشجعين لإستمراره.
تظهر هذه الحرب كم ان الشعب اليمني وبلدهم مكشوفي الظهر، فلا سياسيين ولا جماعات أو نخب فاعلة من طرفا الصراع قد تكترث لما يجري لهم من قتل وتدمير وجوع ومرض. أطراف الصراع لا يكترثوا إلا لمصالحهم.
لم يعد لدى المواطن اليمني أدنى قدرة تحمل، في حين يتم تسليع السلام الوهمي في الداخل والخارج والتسويف في إيجاد الحلول من جميع أطراف الصراع.
يجب تقديم التنازلات من الجميع والوصول لحلول عاجلة لأجل الشعب اليمني المخنوق والذي يحتضر الملايين منه.

“War Brand”

Today, while drawing in the street, I saw the resentment in people’s eyes against this catastrophic war, its parties and its supporters.
This war shows that the backs of Yemenis are exposed; No politicians, groups or elites of the war parties may care about the killing, destruction, starvation or epidemics spread in this country. The war parties care only about themselves.
The Yemeni citizen no longer has the slightest capacity to carry on, while delusory peace is being commodified in the inside and outside by all war parties.
Everyone must make concessions and come up with urgent solutions for the sake of the suffocated Yemeni people, millions of whom are dying.

My mural “War Brand”

Saalik, charcoal piece, and two children

 

صعاليك, قطعة الفحم، وطفلان

 

في إحدى أحياء شمال صنعاء وقبل أسبوعين، وفي دقائق انتظاري لصديقي هاني محمد، جاء “سامي وسمير” وهما طفلان من جيران هاني وجابروني وبعد ان سألاني عن عملي أجبتهم، فطلبوا ان أطبق لهم.. اخذت قطعة فحم ورسمت شخصية “صعاليك” على الجدار وانضموا للرسم  وخطوا ذات الجدارية لكن بطريقتهم الطفولية الرائعة والمميزه. على الجانب الأيسر قام “سمير” برسم منزلان أيضا.

“الصعاليك” ستضل أيديهم إلى أن تنتهي الحروب في العالم.

Saalik, charcoal piece, and two children

In a neighborhood north of Sanaa two weeks ago, and during the waiting for my friend Hani Mohammed next to his house, “Sami and Samir” two children of the neighborhood came and made a conversation with me, after they knew my work, they asked me to show them how I do this, then I took a piece of charcoal and draw one of my characters  ” Saalik”, which means “Poor”, after that, they did join me in drawing on the wall, in their wonderful unique childish way of drawing, they draw “Saalik”, and on the left “Samir” add “Houses” in the mural.

“Saalik” where  their raised hands will stay like this until the wars end in the world.

At least 10,000 people have been killed in nearly two years of war in Yemen. The fighting between the Saudi-backed government and Houthi rebels has left the country in shambles. But a group of people in Sanaa are trying to send a message to politicians to end the war. And they’re doing it with color.

Di Tengah Konflik Perang Yaman, Duo Street Artist Serukan Perdamaian

Rabu, 29 Mar 2017 10:31 WIB  ·   Tia Agnes – detikHOT

Jakarta – Perang saudara Yaman terus berkecamuk sejak Maret 2015 silam. Kondisi konflik berkepanjangan, membuat street artist Murad Subay yang dikenal sebagai Banksy-nya Yaman untuk menciptakan festival street art antara Yaman dan Inggris.

Dia menggandeng seniman Inggris bernama Lisa-Marie Gibbs untuk membuat peristiwa seni jalanan yang bersejarah. Sekaligus tak terlupakan di dua negara tersebut.

“Pesan dari festival ini adalah membawa pesan perdamaian. Kami sama-sama memprotes dengan cara yang artsy dan tidak membayakan siapapun,” tutur Murad Subay, dikutip dari BBC, Rabu (29/3/2017).

Di Inggris, Lisa-Marie Gibbs membuat festival serupa. Dia mengajak anak-anak kecil dan warga sipil untuk menggambar dan membawa pesan perdamaian terhadap konflik berkepanjangan Yaman.

“Murad Subay mengundang saya dan kami membuat kolaborasi dua negara ini. Simbol kupu-kupu kami gunakan untuk menjelaskan aksi kecil bisa berdampak luar biasa bagi sejarah bangsa Yaman. Baik di Inggris dan Sanaa Yaman kami membawa pesan yang sama,” tutur Lisa-Marie.

Lewat seni pula, lanjut dia, seni bisa membawa pesan yang sulit tersampaikan menjadi lebih muda. “Kami berharap orang-orang bisa menerima pesan ini dan menyebarluaskannya pada masyarakat,” pungkasnya lagi.

A group of Yemeni artists took to the streets Wednesday, painting murals on the wall of Sanaa University in a visual protest against three years of war.

The open-air exhibition and workshop attracted locals exhausted by a conflict with no end in sight.

“I came here with my family to express how fed up we are with the way we’re living because of the war,” said Fouad Sharfeddin.

“This event gives us a breather and hope for a return to a normal life.”

The war between pro-government forces and Shiite Huthi rebels who control Sanaa has devastated Yemen and pushed it to the brink of famine.

Since a 2015 intervention by a Saudi-led coalition, fighting has left at least 7,400 people dead and wounded 40,000, according to the United Nations.

“Yemenis are lost,” Sharfeddin’s wife Maryam said. “We try to help the kids relax, even a little, by painting to express the feelings of repression we have inside.”

A young artist wrote “no dreams” next to a stencil of a child, then sat on the pavement under a mural of three heavily-armed soldiers.

Another painted a bouquet of red roses next to a soldier pointing his weapon at a collection of hearts.

The event was organised by an artists’ collective let by Mourad Soubaye, in defiance of the rebels who control the capital.

“This is a day for p eace, against violence, war and the current situation,” said Soubaye.

It followed another rare demonstration, a three-day women’s sit-in protest against the war.

The artists wrote a leaflet addressed to Sanaa residents, saying they did not take a position in the conflict.

“While war divides, art unites beyond borders and barriers,” they wrote.

They called their open day “an opportunity for people express their hope for peace and their rejection of violence.”

“All we want is to get out of the crisis,” Soubaye said.
