Meet the Artist: Khaled Barakeh
The Shake is an ambitious art project by Khaled Barakeh, a Syrian multidisciplinary conceptual artist, activist, and cultural director based in Berlin. It takes its stepping-off point from Maurice Harron's iconic public sculpture, Hands Across the Divide. Erected in 1992, in the doubly named City of Derry-Londonderry, it symbolises "the letting go of the past and reconciliation between both sides of the political divide during The Troubles."
