An art exhibition entitled ‘Your Voice’ will take place in As Suwayda, Syria (a dangerous sanctuary town for those seeking refuge from the war). The established date of November 25, 2016 coincides with the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women. This artwork was created as an effort to encourage and support women (and indeed, all people) under oppression.

An international art exhibit presented by the Ontological Museum / International Museum of Collage, Assemblage and Construction commemorating the 100th anniversary of the Dada art movement.

In addition, the exhibition is also a tribute to Kurt Schwitters - an early proponent of Dada. Schwitters is recognized as a collage artist who early on used found object materials in his collages and dimensional "Merz" artworks. His work has had a major influence on many 20th/21st century artists, most notable being Robert Rauschenberg. 



"Dada was the first conceptual art movement where the focus of the artists was not on crafting aesthetically pleasing objects but on making works that often upended bourgeois sensibilities and that generated difficult questions about society, the role of the artist, and the purpose of art." 

"Dada artists are known for their use of readymade objects - everyday objects that could be bought and presented as art with little manipulation by the artist. The use of the readymade forced questions about artistic creativity and the very definition of art and its purpose in society."   theartstory.org
