Baghdad Walk is an annual series of workshops culminating in a group exhibition presented in public spaces across the city of Baghdad. This year’s sixth edition focuses on artivism – artistic activism – and takes place over two meandering days in the vicinity of Al-Alawi and Al-Sarafiya Bridge. Fifteen emerging Iraqi artists present their works in a variety of artistic medias and expressive forms, addressing fundamental topics from human rights to climate change. The works speak to how these topical issues manifest in the artists’ surroundings and how the infringement of these rights effects their lives and the broader community.
Baghdad Walk 6 is conceptualized and organized by Tarkib and the Institut für Raumexperimente (Institute for Spatial Experiments), Berlin, and in collaboration with the Embassy of the Kingdom of Netherland Baghdad and Arab Fund for Arts and Culture (AFAC) and UNAMI Human Rights Office.
