Yaser Safi
Under Surveillance
A project of Yaser Safi in cooperation with: The Watch “One Day at The Watch” (AIR) & Gangway e.V. “Unser görli bleibt offen!”
This project focuses on encouraging participants to express their personal experiences with the concept of surveillance through an art workshop. Participants will use drawing and linocut tools to transform their experiences into tangible works of art, whether these designs are symbolic or reflect scenes from their daily lives.
The project aims to create a platform to showcase the artwork produced, foster an interactive environment where participants can share their stories and experiences with the community, and use art as a tool to open a community dialogue on issues of surveillance and its impact on individual lives.
