Something Else at the Citadel

We’re thrilled to Unveil Something Else at the Citadel – A contemporary art experience like no other!

This experience unfolds at the historic Salah al-Din Citadel and brings together 140+ artists and 21 Curators from all around the world, promising an enriching fusion of a diverse array of visual arts, installations, art performances, films, and photography.


On this historical site, we are going to convey ancient memories in order to dream of new futures. It has always been foolish, as suggested by the poet W.B. Yeats, to ever think that the work was done. The work is never done. On the contrary. It is a never-ending process of awareness and actions. There is always something else to be discovered, something else to be formulated, something else to be invented. This is our commitment.

We shall respond to questions posed by the Yeats.

"What Then?"

Our answer will be Something Else.

Simply fabulous

In the fantastic stories, the heroines and heroes succeed in happily surviving their exciting adventures against all adversities and the evil thanks to the right herb. Magical powers surround herbs and spices, which are not only used in the well-known magic potions. Like so many things in traditional fairy tales and legends, there is also a grain of truth in them, which is deepened in the appendix of the book, where commodities and information about the use of the herbs and spices presented are explained.

Tales of Herbs and Spices is the follow-up book to Tales of Stones and Stars – Märchen ston Steinen und Sternen and the second collaboration between Birgit Damer and Carole Isler.
