Kareem Dabbagh
 |
|
|
Photographs capture the
way he views the world around him. An experience which
he says puts his soul at equilibrium. His work is
diverse and is a reflection of the philosophy of
spontaneity that guides his life. His work is displayed

Walid Raad |
|
|
Through suffocation, Walid
Raad fights for space. For him, collecting the shattered
pieces of existence is a true science. His artistic
interpretation adds to the truth. In fact, truth and
reality are lines that Walid seems to wrap around
himself. This is an interview and some of his work. |

In the case of Farah Nosh,
her presence in the minds of Iraqis worldwide
constitutes a relentless reminder of the harsh
gluttonous appetite for death that has consumed the land
between the two rivers for decades. Farah Mudaffar, had
the opportunity to see one of Nosh's galleries. Here are
her thoughts. |
