ABOUT
Boshra Mustafa This visual artist is drawn to Expressionism and figurative abstraction. Her work focuses primarily on sculptures made of bronze and papier-mâché. She also explores painting, drawing, installations, and video installations. In her artistic practice, she explores inner movements and human emotional processes. The ancient cultures of the eastern Mediterranean region—particularly the historical cultures of Syria and the Levant—serve as an important reference point for her work. Her visual language, depictions of the body, and symbolic forms form a starting point for her artistic exploration of the body, identity, memory, and movement. In her art, she also reflects on the impact of wars on people and nature. She is particularly interested in environmental issues and, in her works, illustrates how conflicts alter and destroy landscapes. Her work is deeply shaped by the suffering of the people in her homeland and gives these experiences a powerful artistic voice.

Rotation
https://youtu.be/Dou_sZoMTWk?si=Z5nBH_-heqon1t3O Everything is in motion, even when everything stands still. The body moves while the surroundings appear unchanged. Movement and stillness exist simultaneously—like memory, time, and inner experience. The rotation becomes a state between arriving and moving on, between holding on and letting go. What does not move externally can be constantly changing internally. Rotation therefore signifies not only movement in space, but also the movement of
Sound Becomes Image: Asambura Ensemble
https://youtu.be/EcmwtFPFwQM?si=xXlegqMOpy7TECe8 https://youtu.be/QEXQsx9rfCY?si=czpRtvMK2tF8FWyy In collaboration with the Asambura Ensemble, an audiovisual artistic experience was created in which music was translated into visual and emotional states. Sounds, rhythm, and musical tensions became impulses for movement, color, and image. The focus was not on illustrating the music, but on the question of how **sound can become visible as an inner sensation**. Video and music merge into a
Rubble 1

Rubble 2
The Body as a Fluid Memory This project explores the human body not as a fixed form, but as a fluid memory that bears traces of life, migration, experience, and identity. In my work, the body is not merely depicted realistically, but moves between realistic representation, emotional expression, and abstract transformation. It appears as a malleable structure straddling the visible and the inner. A form like the rubble of our abandoned houses, like a hollow tree in a barren land.
2023 - 2021 Invisible
"Invisible" will thus be about the blindness of the mind and the crisis of modern man It is for me a metaphor for the irrationality of man and the opposite of "enlightenment". It is for me a mind that represents only one-sided regressive idea and ignores other issues, ideas and points of view.Invisible is thus a symbol of ignorance, intolerance, hatred, rejection of the other and backwardness in general

AbAbdul Karim Majdal Albiek & Boshra Mustafa
It is an art project that brings together a group of young people from different countries who share a love of the environment to share their culture and opinions about what is happening with environmental change and its impact on the earth and people. Through the interaction of different perspectives, a broad picture of the changes is painted so that each individual can do their part to help preserve nature. Young people are always trying to make something new out of the things that are thrown away. They recycle them to create unique art forms that we can then reuse or remain as artworks that can be displayed. This is a workshop for young people to learn what to do with the things that are thrown away .
Mauer der Wünsche

Eine Mauer ist das Gedächtnis einer Stadt und ihr Dokumentationsfeld. Auf ihr zeichnen sich Ereignisse und Erinnerungen ab: Menschen hinterlassen Nachrichten, Parolen und Aufrufe auf ihr, sie dient für politische Botschaften, Liebesbekenntnisse oder als Werbefläche. In Syrien wurden Mauern den Einwohner:innen Jahrzehnte lang als Ausdrucksmittel vorenthalten. Dort dienen die Mauern im öffentlichen Raum ausschließlich den Parolen und Botschaften des autoritären Regimes. Die Proteste im Jahre 2011 begannen damit, dass Gewalt gegen Grundschulkinder angewendet wurde, die regimekritische Parolen auf die Mauern ihrer Schule gekritzelt hatten. Mit der Ausweitung der Protestaktionen auf alle syrischen Städte versuchten die Demonstranten, die Mauer zurück zu erobern und sie zum Instrument des Widerstands gegen die Diktatur zu nutzen. So bekam die Mauer eine politische und soziale Bedeutung, die ihr vorher von offizieller Seite her versagt war. Das Projekt möchte, die Mauer als Ausdrucksmittel wieder nutzbar machen und sie als Projekt
