Searching for our cities in other cities and places

With the spread of Syrian artists and cultural practitioners around the world, it seems that the relationship with their Syrian cities, which they left or decided to remain in, remained fundamental and fundamental, but it moved to other levels of pain and hope, which alternate between the hammer of longing, nostalgia, and loss, and the anvil of anger, orphanhood, and cutting off roots. Over the past seven years, Syrians have settled in new cities. During that time, they began a journey in search of their old cities. They settled in new homes, lived and resided in them for short periods, walked on new sidewalks, or rediscovered old sidewalks, then redefined them and discovered them in new cities and headquarters. They tried to invent Damascus, Daraa, Homs, Latakia, Their Tartous, Masyaf, and Deir ez-Zor were in new cities, and they tried to draw new maps for themselves in them, and they reinvented the city between Cairo, Beirut, Istanbul, Berlin, Paris, and other cities.
