L'Attente du jourWaiting for the Day
I arrive at the Berlin station. In my travel English, I show the cabbie the return address on a letter addressed to me: the Hoschule der Kunst (National Arts School). In the school hallway I heard the voice of Ali, the man I’m here to see. I’m the last person he expected to meet her. We’re both Syrians. Ali is studying painting in Germany. He’s starting to have a certain “standing” here. He has a show in a few days. We talk about the possibility of being an artist in Syria. Ali thinks having a career in our homeland is an illusion. “We can no longer create art in Syria.”
