Pass by Galerie Tanit Beirut and delve into Sadik Kwaish Alfraji’s solo exhibition “Charcoal, Ink and a Donkey”.

“In these works, the donkey is presented against an empty background, as if to emphasise a “donkeyness” that is not rooted in servitude to humans. While these canvases combine a certain playfulness with melancholia and speak to generic ideas of donkey representation, they also reframe the donkey as a working animal. Social commentary and the politics of class seep in through the Orwellian quotes and by Alfraji’s decision to show animals that are not at work but instead subtly and quietly exercise their own agency.”
