Art, War and Peace: Responses to the Invasion and Occupation of Iraq

How have artists and institutions in the UK and beyond responded to the 2003 invasion and subsequent occupation of Iraq? How we might think about the entanglement of art, war and peace in light of these responses?
This one-day event will bring together artists and writers with ties to Iraq to reflect on these issues a decade on from the invasion. Reflecting a range of perspectives and practices, talks and discussions will explore the different ways in which the war has been experienced and the diverse forms of creativity through which artists have responded.
The event will feature talks and discussions with Rashad Selim, Hanaa’ Malallah, Satta Hashem, Yousif Naser, Nadje Al-Ali and others.
