The streets of Aden, strewn with the rubble of destroyed buildings, have become a semi-permanent exhibition of the artist Alaa Rubel’s work, and a testimony to the horrors of the war experienced by the Yemenis.
The streets of Aden, strewn with the rubble of destroyed buildings, have become a semi-permanent exhibition of the artist Alaa Rubel’s work, and a testimony to the horrors of the war experienced by the Yemenis.
On a shop wall in a heavily damaged area, artist Alaa Rubel drew a large outline of a man’s face, but obscured the eyes, nose and mouth with a hand holding three sticks of dynamite.
Across the street, on the inner wall of a bombed-out apartment building, he painted a piece he calls Silent Suffering that depicts a skeleton playing a violin while peace signs float around its skull.
