“The Last Dance of the Dead”
“رقصة الموتى الأخيرة”
جمعني لقاء في نوفمبر 2019 المنصرم في القصر الرئاسي الفرنسي “الأليزيه” مع اثنان من المستشارين وكنت ضمن سبعة من مبعوثي المنظمات الدولية في فرنسا, للحديث عن الحرب في اليمن, وعن الضحايا من المدنيين.
قدمت خلالها أربع لوحات فنية ضمن مجموعة “رقصة الموتى الأخيرة” كرسالة إحتجاج وهدية في ذات الوقت، للأليزيه وللرئيس الفرنسي أيمنانويل ماكرون, في محاولة لنقل الوضع بشكل غير مباشر مع ضحايا الحرب.
“The Last Dance of the Dead”
A meeting in November 2019 at the French presidential palace “Elysee” brought me together with two of President Emmanuel Macron’s advisers on the government side and five people from the international organizations in France, to talk about the war in Yemen and its effects on the people.
During the meeting I presented four paintings within the group “The Last Dance of the Dead” as a message of protest and a gift at the same time, to the Elysée and the French President, in an attempt to focus on the victims of the war.

“Militia Paradise” mural, Marseilles 2019
“فردوس المليشيات”
القصص التي خرجت خلال السنوات الماضية وحتى وقتنا الحالي عن السجون وعن التعذيب الذي يطال كل من تطأ قدمهم ذلك الجحيم المحكوم بمليشيات لا يحكمها قانون ولا عُرف، مــرعبة!
لقد أرتكبت مليشيات “الحوثي” في الشمال أبشع الجرائم في حق الأبرياء وخصوصا النساء، عبر تعرضهن للتعذيب والإغتصاب والقتل داخل سجونهم وكذلك يطال كل معارض لهذه المليشيات، ويحضر هذا الجحيم أيضا في السجون السرية التي أقامتها الإمارات في الجنوب وفي السجون المختلفة في أنحاء البلد أيضا والقائمة تطول حول سجون خارج نطاق القانون.
أهدي هذه الجدارية لكل الضحايا الذين تعرضوا للتنكيل في هذا الجحيم. على جدار “لميوغ دو فوند”, مدينة مرسيليا، 6 ديسمبر 2019.
شكر جزيل للفنان الفرنسي “جيرمايان، و ستيفان موسكاتو” على تحضيرهما لهذا الحدث البديع في “لميوغ دو فوند” وللموسيقار “بيير لامبيرغتي” على أداءه الموسيقي الجميل المرافق لإفتتاح الجدارية, وللرائع جين سيباستيان على دعمه.
شكر خاص للصديقة والفنانة الألمانية “فانيسا كينتزل” على تجسيدها للعمل.
“Militia Paradise”
The stories that came out during the past years and up to the present time about the prisons and the torture that affects all those who set foot in that hell governed by militias that are not governed by law or traditions, is terrifying!
Houthi militias in the north have committed the most heinous crimes against innocent people, especially women and men, by torturing, raping and killing them in their prisons, as well as against every opponent of these militias. This include the secret prisons run by the UAE in the south of Yemen, in addition to the prisons that spread in the country, too, and the list goes on over the militia prisons everywhere in Yemen.
I dedicate this mural to all the victims who were abused in this hell. On the wall of “Le Mur du Fond”, Marseille, 6 December 2019.
Many thanks to the French artist “Germanolo Germainand Stephane Muscatato” for their preparation for this wonderful event at “Le Mur Du Fond” and for the musician “Pierre Lamberti” for his beautiful musical performance accompanying the opening of the mural, and the wonderful Jean Sebastian, for his support.
Special thanks to my friend and the German artist “Vanessa Kintzel”, for her portrayal of the work.

VIDÉO. Un artiste yéménite dévoile une fresque à Paris contre “l’hypocrisie internationale”
Par LEXPRESS.fr avec AFP ,publié le
Murad Subay a dévoilé mardi une de ses fresques pour interpeller les passants sur “l’hypocrisie internationale” et dénoncer les ventes d’armes françaises à l’Arabie saoudite engagée dans la guerre au Yémen.
“Sur le corps des Yéménites passent la guerre, l’hypocrisie internationale et les armes”, peut-on lire au sommet de cette scène peinte sur un mur du Marais, quartier du centre historique de Paris. Inaugurée ce mardi, elle est l’oeuvre de Murad Subay, jeune street-artist yémenite.
“C’est très important d’être ici pour montrer aux gens que la France peut jouer un meilleur rôle au Yémen plutôt que de seulement vendre des armes“, a déclaré le jeune homme, engagé dans le projet aux côtés de sept ONG. “On voudrait alerter l’opinion publique, on espère que beaucoup de personnes pourront voir le message et peut-être s’interroger sur la situation au Yémen et se rendre compte du rôle de la France dans ce conflit”, a estimé Aurélie Leroyer, de Médecins du Monde.

Crise humanitaire
Un panneau blanc était également installé pour permettre aux passants de signer une pétition contre la vente d’armes françaises. Elle a déjà recueilli 250 000 signatures. Des ONG ont appelé à plusieurs reprises la France à suspendre les ventes d’armements à Ryad et Abu Dhabi, engagés au Yémen dans une guerre contre les rebelles houthis. Ce conflit a entraîné des dizaines de milliers de morts, pour la plupart civils, depuis 2015. Le pays fait face à la plus grave crise humanitaire au monde.
Paris se défend en assurant que les ventes sont soumises à des contrôles stricts et que les matériels français ne sont pas engagés dans des opérations offensives. En 2018, les exportations d’armement français ont augmenté de 30%, avec pour principaux clients le Qatar, la Belgique et l’Arabie saoudite. La France est le troisième exportateur mondial d’équipements militaires.
Depuis 2016, 12 pays européens, dont l’Allemagne, la Belgique, l’Italie et le Royaume-Uni ont annoncé des mesures pour suspendre ou limiter leurs exportations d’armement vers Riyad et Abou Dhabi.

New commission by Yemeni street artist Murad Subay exhibited for the first time at IWM North as part of Yemen: Inside a Crisis
New commission by Yemeni street artist Murad Subay exhibited for the first time at IWM North as part of Yemen: Inside a Crisis
Ahead of opening the major exhibition Yemen: Inside a Crisis at IWM North on 17 May 2019, Imperial War Museums (IWM) announces its commission of a new artwork by Yemeni street artist Murad Subay. Created especially for IWM, the artist’s latest work, Devoured (2019), will form part of the UK’s first exhibition to address Yemen’s current conflict and humanitarian crisis.
In this commission, Murad Subay responds to the on-going humanitarian crisis in his country, which the UN has described as the “world’s worst”. With the conflict leaving an estimated 80% of the country’s men, women and children in desperate need of assistance, Subay’s artwork explores the realities of living in a war zone.
Examining the inaccessibility of food, water and healthcare, Devoured metaphorically represents the harsh physical and psychological realities faced daily by the Yemeni people, as well as the regional and international experience of the conflict situation. Created using stencils, the artwork depicts a skeletal man, sat cross- legged, devouring what remains of himself. A crow bird perches on the knee of the figure, also devouring the body. The colours used are grey and muted, emphasising a horizontal red line that runs behind the seated figure.
Commenting on Devoured, artist Murad Subay said: “Ordinary people are struggling for survival and are crushed down to the ground. People suffer from hunger and famine, illness and epidemics due to lack of food, water and medicine. They lost everything they had because of war. There is only a red line – a dangerous limit that should never be crossed – which has been surpassed already, exemplifying the lack of hope and uncertain future.”
Louise Skidmore, Head of Contemporary Conflict at IWM and curator of Yemen: Inside a Crisis said: “Responding to themes explored as part of Yemen: Inside a Crisis, Murad Subay’s Devoured is raw and honest. His is a powerful representation of the human suffering in Yemen and it visually reflects how weary the country’s people are after years of living through the on-going crisis. IWM is extremely proud to have commissioned this important work, which provides a unique perspective on the artist’s experience of conflict.”
Yemen: Inside a Crisis is part of IWM’s Conflict Now strand of programming, which features opinions of individuals who have witnessed, experienced and worked in areas of conflict. In addition to Murad Subay’s new commission, the exhibition at IWM North will feature around 50 objects and photographs, many of which have been exclusively sourced from Yemen for this exhibition.

Index on Censorship calls on French authorities to reverse decision on visa for artist\ On “Index On Censorship”
STATEMENT
Index on Censorship calls on French authorities to reverse decision on visa for artist
29 Apr 2019
BY INDEX ON CENSORSHIP
Murad Subay, a Yemeni street artist and the 2016 Index on Censorship Freedom of Expression Awards Arts Fellow, was rejected for a visa to study at Aix-Marseille University as part of a one-year grant for threatened artists.
Subay, who creates murals protesting against Yemen’s civil war, was given a grant to study under the Institute of International Education’s Artistic Protection Fund, sponsored by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, which makes fellowship grants to artists from any field of practice, and places them at host institutions in safe countries where they can continue their work and plan for their futures.
The visa that would have allowed Subay to study was rejected by authorities on Friday, he told Index via email.
“This rejection highlights a spreading hostility to artistic freedom around the world. From Uganda to Indonesia to Cuba, proposed legislation threatens to control artists, while a growing number of supposedly democratic countries such as the UK frequently refuse visas to foreign authors, musicians and activists for events or training. This reinforces notion that constraining artistic freedom is acceptable,” Jodie Ginsberg, CEO of Index on Censorship said.
“We ask French authorities to reverse this decision and allow Murad, an Index fellow, to study.”
Subay’s murals grew from the frustration he felt as his homeland descended into chaos and factionalism. Amid the destruction and anger, Subay picked up his brush. He went out into the streets with friends and began painting in broad daylight. After a few days he was joined by people from the community driven by their desire for peace amid Yemen’s civil war.
The Yemeni civil war has been raging since 2015. An estimated 13,600 people have been killed, including more than 5,200 civilians. The strife has contributed to the death of an estimated 50,000 people from an ongoing famine. In 2018, the United Nations warned that 13 million Yemeni civilians face starvation in what it says could become “the worst famine in the world in 100 years.”
