The exhibition features the work of ten contemporary Kurdish artists from Iraq, Turkey and Syria and explores themes that have long shaped the Kurdish experience such as displacement, exile, and memory. The exhibition runs until February 25, 2020.
The evening will also feature Kurdish music by DC-based Syrian-Kurdish musician and self-taught artist, Lukman Ahmad, at 6:30PM.
