Groups Halbouni: Frauenkirche Church and Manaf Monument

groups halbouni: Halbouni's work was set up earlier this year outside the Frauenkirche church in Dresden, a symbol of that city's rebirth following its destruction in World War II. It drew criticism from far-right groups, according to Metro News. Halbouni said Friday the symbolism of the work is just as strong in Berlin. Manaf Halbouni's Monument mirrors a barrier made of buses that was placed on a street in the northern Syrian city of Aleppo to protect residents from sniper fire. He added I think it's very important for the discussion to be resumed, particularly in the capital. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
