SUMMARY:Drawn From Pain\, Written from Truth: Suad Smo and Amera Ali
DESCRIPTION:Drawn From Pain\, Written from Truth brings together the powerful testimonies of Amera Ali and Suad Smo in an exhibition that speaks to survival\, memory and resilience. Captured by ISIS as young girls during the Yezidi genocide\, both artists draw on lived experience to share deeply personal accounts of displacement\, violence and endurance. Through text\, Amera Ali reflects on trauma\, survival and the difficult process of rebuilding a life after unimaginable loss\, while Suad Smo’s artworks give visual form to grief\, cultural memory and resilience. Together\, their practices become acts of witness and resistance\, ensuring stories too often silenced are seen and heard. \n  \n \nExhibition proudly supported by Armidale Sanctuary Humanitarian Settlement \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\nDrawn From Pain\, Written from Truth will exhibit at NERAM from the 12th of June until the 19th of July. \n\nOpening night will run from 6pm-8pm on Friday 12th June\, preceded by an artist talk at 5.30pm.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nImage credit: Suad Smo\, Untitled\, 2026. acrylic on canvas\n\n  \n
