We’re back with our 3rd exhibition! ✨🇮🇶

A Stroll Through #Baghdad by Mondher Madfai 👨🏽‍🎨

🗓️ Nov 22–23

📍 42 rue Notre-Dame de Nazareth, Paris 3e

🖼️ Through delicate watercolors, Madfai captures Baghdad’s memory and light - an intimate journey through its streets and moments.

More than 20 years after the invasion of Iraq, memory is fading.

In this interview, writer Saphia Azzeddine reflects on the power of literature to speak where public discourse falls silent, and to bring attention back to stories that still matter.

📷 Irish-Iraqi artist Basil Al-Rawi is exhibiting "House of Memory - Iraq Through Personal Archive Photos" in Paris this weekend and YOU are invited 💌

We are delighted to support his work, which is deeply rooted in storytelling. A tradition central to Irish culture, that offers a window into the memories and experiences of individuals who call Ireland home, but whose past narratives have been shaped by events and cultures elsewhere.

Drawing from personal photographs and recorded testimonies, Basil explores the memories of the Iraqi diaspora and challenges dominant narratives about Iraq.
Based on his PhD research, the project transforms these intimate archives into a digital counter-archive — a collective memory you can step inside.

🎬 We asked Mondher Madfai about his connection to #Baghdad. His words reflect a deep and unwavering love for the city: “What is there not to love about Baghdad?”

🎬 Meeting Mondher Madfai: A Different Perspective on Baghdad Through Art

🇮🇶 We had the chance to meet an artist, writer and journalist who offers a unique vision of Baghdad. Through his drawings, he strives to show the real #Baghdad, beyond the images portrayed in the news.

[Erth @erth_iraq]

📸 Retour en images sur notre toute première exposition.
Nous tenons à vous remercier chaleureusement pour votre présence et votre soutien. Votre bienveillance a fait de cet év��nement une véritable réussite. Sans vous, rien de tout cela n’aurait été possible.

[Erth @erth_iraq]

Even today, in places like Amarah, one can hear poetry in the markets. For Iraqis in the diaspora, poetry serves as a bridge to the culture they left behind, acting as a powerful connection to their homeland.

[Erth @erth_iraq]

In our exhibition, we presented a poetic moment meant to inspire hope. Poetry has always played a vital role in Iraqi life, remaining deeply embedded in the country’s identity.

صور لجين نعمة تمثل تكريماً لهذا الصمود. لغتنا الوحيدة هي العراق.

شكرنا الجزيل لجميع الأصدقاء على حضوركهم ودعمهم🙏

تم تنظيم هذا المعرض من قبل المنظمة غير الحكومية “إرث”، التي أسسها شاذل نواف طاقة وميساء النبهاني قبل أكثر من عام لتعزيز الثقافة والتراث العراقيين

[Erth @erth_iraq]

🇮🇶 Une immense fierté d’avoir organisé notre première exposition à Paris sur le thème de la guerre, de l’exil et du déplacement, qui affecte encore des milliers d’Irakiens.

[Erth @erth_iraq]

فخر كبير بتنظيم أول معرض لنا في باريس حول موضوع المنفى والنزوح، الذي لا يزال يؤثر على حياة آلاف العراقيين.

بعد مغادرتها بلادها، تقدم لنا لجين توثيقاً بصرياً مبهراً عن عراق ما بعد الحرب، حيث يتجدد الأمل. يُظهر عملها صمود بلد غني بالتاريخ، والتراث، والثقافة.

[Erth @erth_iraq]

Les photographies de Lojein Neamah sont une ode à cette résilience. Notre seul langage est celui de l’Irak.

*Cette exposition est organisée par Erth, l’ONG fondée il y a plus d’un an par Shathil Nawaf Taqa et Maïssa Nabhani pour promouvoir la culture et l’héritage irakien.*

[Erth @erth_iraq]

En retournant sur sa terre d’origine, Lojein Neamah nous livre un témoignage visuel puissant de l’Irak d’après-guerre, où l’espoir renaît. Son travail met en lumière la résilience d’un pays riche en histoire, en patrimoine et en culture.
