This has made my day, discovering the #Iraq Photo Archive, comprised of images submitted by #Iraqis revealing their lives & experiences during a more hopeful era in the 60s & 70s. Conceived by Basil al Rawi. Read about it @The_NewArab @Iraq_Archive @GSofA https://t.co/WbeS8Jb2X9

Iraqi-Irish artist Basil al-Rawi’s multi-visual project houses these memories as a means of show + tell — and the best part is that photos are submitted anonymously. [A little taster below]
