Why it matters:
The cross-border artistic tribute reflects regional solidarity in the face of the Israeli 12-day war on Iran and commemorates the pivotal role of artists in resistance movements.
The big picture:
Following the 12-day war imposed on Iran by Israel, Iraqi artists organized a symposium in Baghdad to honor Alikhani and condemn the war in Gaza. The resulting artworks now on display in Tehran symbolize a shared commitment to peace, memory, and resistance through art.
Details:
- 24 paintings by Iraqi artists were exhibited in Tehran.
- Exhibition runs Sept 15–20, 9 AM to 6 PM Iranian local time.
- Participating artists include Zahraa Hassan, Amineh Abdulamir, Abbas Fazel.
