Cizire Culture and Arts Council opened the 3rd Rojava Art Exhibition in Qamishlo yesterday with the slogan “Peoples’ art is the voice of Afrin resistance”.

Speaking to ANHA news agency, Cizire Culture and Arts Council Co-president Berivan Xalid said they hold an art exhibition in Rojava and Northern Syria every year to remember martyr Haki Karer and the martyrs of the month of May.

Berivan Xalid said painters from Afrin couldn’t attend this year’s exhibition due to the invasion of the canton by Turkey and affiliated gangs. She said “We dedicate our exhibition to the Resistance of the Age”.

Xalid noted that a press conference will be held and prizes will be given on Sunday, the last day of the exhibition. She added; “We will welcome May 18 every year as a historic day for painting art in Rojava.”
