“Lost Generation” الجيل الضائع

“الجيل الضائع”

جيل بأكمله تم تضييعه منذ بداية إجتياح المدن عام 2014 وحتى الحرب الحالية التي بدأت عام 2015، لقد تم هدر أحلام الشباب والشابات والشعب اليمني الذي تطلع في يوما ما منذ سنوات للحاق بالعالم، ليعيش كباقي الشعوب في حرية وعدل.

جداريتي “الجيل الضائع”, ضمن مجموعة “وجوه الحرب”, على جدار في العاصمة البريطانية “لندن”, 5 يوليو 2019.

شكر خاص للرائع “روب ماكينس” لكل جهوده بذلها في توفير المكان اللازم لي لعمل الجداريات وللصديقة “سميه بخش”

“Lost Generation”

An entire generation has been lost from the beginning of the invasion of the cities in 2014 until the ongoing war that started in 2015. The dreams of the young people and the Yemenis (it is the same for the people in the region), who someday dreamt to live like the rest of the world in freedom and justice.

“Hollowed Mother” الأم المكلومة

 

  لم يعد لدي ما أقوله فيما يحصل في اليمن والمنطقة, من حروب ودمار وموت.

جداريتي, “الأم المكلومة”, على جدار في مدينة “لندن, بريطانيا”, 5 يوليو 2019.

I no longer have anything to say about what happens in Yemen and the region, wars, destruction and death.

“Bon appetite” شهية طيبة

 

Poster “Bon appetite”

Arms Corporations around the world deal with weapons as a food commodity, exporting them to all parts of the world with no responsibility, especially those areas in conflicts and catastrophic wars, in which innocent people especially children and women, become the victims of those weapons, and with a participation of the governments of these corporations even by not taking the responsiblitly of this action.

The work model is inspired by “Tomato Sauce” by Andy Warhol. I worked on this poster in 2018, and did not have the opportunity to implement it on the walls.

Note: I apologize for the poor quality, and I will rework on it with a higher quality when I have the chance.

بوستر”شهية طيبة”
تتعامل شركات الأسلحة في جميع أنحاء العالم مع الأسلحة كسلعة غذائية ، وتقوم بتصديرها إلى جميع أنحاء العالم دون أي مسؤولية ، لا سيما تلك التي تعيش في النزاعات والحروب الكارثية ، والتي يصبح فيها الأبرياء ، وخاصة الأطفال والنساء ، ضحايا تلك الأسلحة ، وبمشاركة حكومات هذه الشركات حتى من خلال عدم تحمل مسؤولية هذا العمل.

نموذج العمل مستوحى من عمل “صلصة الطماطم” للفنان العالمي أندي وارهول. عملت على هذا العمل في عام 2018 ، ولم تتح لي الفرصة لتنفيذه على الجدران.

Artists paint murals of hopes and fears in war-torn Yemen\ On CGTN, China

Artists paint murals of hopes and fears in war-torn Yemen

CGTN

Young artists lined up across a wall in the Yemeni capital Sanaa on Thursday painting murals that reflect their fears as well as hopes in a country crippled by war.

“We are here as a tribute to art and culture and to spread the message of peace in an attempt to revive what this war has taken from us,” Haifa Subay, her glasses spotted with white paint, tells AFP. The graffiti artist is taking part in an open-air exhibition, painting a mural of what seems to be an abstract face with words of hope and encouragement in bold, red letters.

 

“The war has destroyed Yemen. It has destroyed all the capabilities of this beautiful country,” she says from the rebel-held capital. The conflict between the pro-government forces backed by a Saudi-led military coalition, and the Iran-aligned Huthi rebels has pushed the country to the brink of famine.

Since 2015, when Saudi Arabia and its allies intervened in the war, around 10,000 people – mostly civilians – have been killed and more than 60,000 wounded, according to the World Health Organization. Rights groups say the real figure could be five times as high.

Like Subay, Thiyazen al-Alawai hopes to bring back life to the city through his art work.

“Street art in Yemen is not separate from society but a part of it,” he said, as people, young and old, paused to admire the artists’ work. “The people (of Yemen) are not spectators, but they are participants in such art work.”

A teenage boy donning a hoodie and a respirator mask spray paints a wall using his country’s flag colors: red, white and black. Another wall has the word Arabia Felix, or Happy Arabia – used by the Romans to describe the part of the region to which Yemen belonged and was home to the legendary Queen of Sheba.

“We just hope that Yemen returns to the way it was,” said Subay.
