Resilience in Damascus: Singing for Peace
Syrians are suffering under ISIS. Fear of bombing has stopped people from gathering in large numbers on the streets. Now, with the intensification of conflict, the air-strikes by the US and Canada and the recent beheadings by ISIS, public gatherings are even more dangerous. Yet street performers continue to go into the streets bringing people together.
The smiles on the faces of the people illustrates the power of the arts to remind people of their lives outside conflict. I am so impressed by the courage and resilience of these performers.
