Dafatir: An Exhibition of Contemporary Iraqui Book Art

This art exhibit, organized by the University of North Texas Art Gallery, is currently on display at Carleton College. Surprisingly, I hadn’t heard anything about this exhibit through the book arts channels. Instead, I read about it in this post on the blog Across the Great Divide. While there are plenty of images at this Carleton College link,the blog post provides some interesting background information on Mohammed Al Shammarey, one of the artists, as well as a link to his own gallery.
