Al Houla Massacre (2012) - Syrian Artist AMMAR AL BEIK In this Mixed Media Installation Ammar al Beik represents his interpretation of/response to Al Houla Massacre that occurred on 25th of May 2012 in Al Houla region in Homs. The systematic massacre which was carried out by Syrian regime forces left more than 100 people dead, mostly children and women who were executed point blank within their homes. The campaign also included massive shelling and bombing of the region. Here, the artist takes on the family name of the Syrian dictators “Al Assad/The Lion” and literally represents it as lion who was brought down by a stab in the heart from a wounded bull, representing the Syrian people. The lion is also seen made from newspaper excerpts of documentations of the murders committed by the current dictator and his father before him against the Syrian people.
