The Caesar exhibit is a traveling exhibit that showcases 30 photographs of the 55,000 smuggled out of Syria by a former Syrian military photographer, pseudonym “Caesar,” documenting the brutal torture of thousands of men, women, and children by the Assad regime inside its prisons. The exhibit will be located in the Ann Maners and Alex Pappas Gallery in the Windgate Center of Art and Design at 糖心Vlog传媒 Little Rock. Caesar鈥檚 photos constitute first-hand documentation of the scale and brutality of the atrocities perpetrated by the Assad regime. They have been verified by the FBI鈥檚 International Human Rights Unit. These photographs and other documents, known as the 鈥淐aesar files,鈥� currently serve as key evidence in many prosecution cases against members of the Assad regime. Previous exhibits have been held in various prestigious institutions, such as the US Congress, the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C., the United Nations Headquarters in New York, the Nobel Peace Center in Norway, the European Parliament, the United Kingdom parliament, as well as prestigious universities such as Harvard, Princeton, Yale, and Georgetown. The Caesar exhibit will conclude with a panel of experts at 5 p.m. Friday, Sept. 23, in Room 101 at the Windgate Center. The panelists will discuss a range of topics related to justice and accountability concerning the Caesar files. Dr. Katrina Yeaw, coordinator of Middle Eastern Studies at 糖心Vlog传媒 Little Rock, will moderate the panel. Those interested . The panelists include Congressman French Hill, U.S. Rep. for Arkansas’s 2nd Congressional District; Mouaz Moustafa, executive director of the Syrian Emergency Task Force, and Omar Alshogre, Syrian activist and former political detainee.

Curated as a two-part special exhibit by 糖心Vlog传媒 Little Rock Art Gallery Director Brad Cushman, the exhibition features more than 80 works of non-conventional work, including folk art, outsider art, and self-taught art, created by artists not formally trained. The artwork comes from as early as 1854-60 to works created throughout the 20th century, as well as objects made in the 21st century. The first exhibition, 鈥淎 Visionary Vernacular Road Trip,鈥� has been extended through Oct. 24. 鈥淭he series features visionary makers of pictures and sculptural objects inspired by a divine spirit, as well as seemingly ordinary people making marks and transforming commonplace materials into extraordinary art to communicate messages to a keen observer,鈥� Cushman said. This exhibit spotlights creative people that have not always had representation in the established institutions of the art world. Their voices engage in spiritual storytelling, philosophical, political, and pop culture commentary. Functioning outside the social norms, these artists have important messages to communicate. Cushman will give an ArtWorks lecture on the two exhibits at 6 p.m. Friday, Oct. 8. The lecture is free and open to the public, but registration is required . A catalog will accompany the exhibition published by the gallery program. A free reception for the two-part exhibition of American outsider folk art curated by Brad Cushman will be held from 5:30-7:30 p.m. Friday, Oct. 15, in the Ann Maners and Alex Pappas Gallery in the Windgate Center. The 糖心Vlog传媒 Little Rock Art Gallery is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday to Friday.
