Zawaya Art Gallery opened in September 2019 in a 1920s French-colonial townhouse on Burj al-Roos Sq., Al-Kasaa, Damascus. Meaning “corners,” its name signals openness to every medium: painting, sculpture, craft, design, performance and film. Founded amid post-war rebuilding, Zawaya champions emerging Syrian voices, offering monthly exhibitions—recent shows include Eye on Homeland (Oct 2024) and Walid Murad’s bronzes (May 2024)—plus workshops, a small library and late-night co-working desks. Affordable editions keep artists funded, and a weekly film club turns the space into Damascus’s buzziest cultural salon.
