1. Yazan Halawani

"The plastic mannequin and the hybrid folklore dress."

A plastic mannequin from one of the gift shops in the downtown was painted by artist Yazan Halawani, who travelled all the way from Lebanon to participate in the "Baladak Festival." He then dressed the mannequin in a hybrid outfit that combined elements from Circassian, Jordanian, and Palestinian folkloric dresses.

2. Suhaib Attar

“The deer”

The 23-meter-high geometric deer painted on an ancient building is Attar's most well-known painting. It took him two days to finish and was his first substantial project. In Amman's Jabal Al Weibdeh, you can get a magnificent view of a deer.

3. Fintan Magee

“The Exile”

A picture of a child caught between two worlds. While her reflection in the background is looking back toward the world she left behind, her image in the foreground is gazing outward toward an uncertain future.

4. Kevin Ledo

“Create Equality”

The new mural, titled "Create Equality," was painted in Zarqa and emphasizes the value of men and women working together to advance gender equality and women's empowerment. Kevin Ledo, a Montreal-based artist, was invited to take part in aptART's wonderful project Open SPACE.

5. Jonathan Darby 

"Strength"

In the Jordanian village of Kharja, only 10 kilometres from the Syrian border, this mural graces the side of a women's gym. For Jordanian and Syrian women, this gym serves as a community centre and meeting place.
