A partnership between ArtRole, UK and Khak Press and Media Centre, Iraq-Kurdistan
The Post War Festival ended on Monday 9th November after 3 days celebration of Art and Culture. The Festival took place in The Red Jail, Saddam Hussein’s security building in the city of Sulaymaniyah and included seminars, talks and a symposium. The festival exhibited artwork by Iraqi, British and US artists and hosted presentations by British arts organisations.
The event created a unique platform and opportunity for Iraqi and British artists to experience working and exhibiting together. It provided a highly visible venue for Iraqi people to engage directly with contemporary art. The event was attended by young people and their teachers from schools and colleges across the country. |
