THE Barn in Ledbury is staging a special exhibition and private viewing of the art of a young Syrian refugee called Shahed Al Joundy.
Lynn Jones of the Barn said: "We have a lovely Syrian artist called Shahed, a young woman refugee.
"We have her art in the barn and would like to do a private viewing for her Thursday July 13
"Shahed is from Syria.
"She is an illustration artist who graduated from the University of Syria as a graphic designer.
"She came to the UK at the beginning of lockdown, and some of her art illustrates her experience of that unprecedented time.
"However, most of her art illustrates the anguish of Syria, and her journey from Syria to the UK. Shahed’s ethos is to express art through emotion, where even the happiest moments are tinged with sorrow."
