About – LITEHOUSE GALLERY ABOUT Litehouse Gallery was founded in London in 2017 by Raghad Mardini in order to nurture, represent and promote emerging Syrian contemporary artists, to create a hub for Syrian artists in the UK, and encourage new forms of cultural exchange between Syrian and British artists. Although Syrian art features in the collections of many public institutions and is highly appreciated in auction houses, it is underrepresented in private galleries in the UK. We aim to fill this gap. As well as operating as a commercial pop-up art gallery, we organise talks, workshops, and non-commercial exhibitions, where artists can voice their beliefs and concerns, and impact the British art scene. We use our extensive network and relationships with contemporary Syrian artists to engage new ideas, perspectives, and audiences. Litehouse Gallery evolved from the Art Residence Aley (ARA) , an NGO founded by Raghad Mardini in 2012 in Beirut. Many Syrian artists who had fled to Lebanon were unable to continue their practice due to trauma and financial hardship. At ARA they were given bed and board for a month, alongwith space, freedom, and all the materials to enable them to make art again. Litehouse Gallery continues the work and ethos of the residency by serving displaced Syrian artists.…
