Iraq: Paintings on the Walls · Global Voices
Amira Al Hussaini

Iraqi Konfused Kid lives up to his name  and is confused about the paintings coming up on the walls in Iraq. “My gut insisted for a second that it was weird that those painting would spring up in the land of Baathies and al-Qaeda, who as I hear are killing people for sins such as wearing shorts or smoking cigarettes, what about drawing infidel art, anonymous dude commented here saying it's in Sa3doon Street, while his report is unverified it makes more common sense to me there than Adhamiya. Adhamiya is a rough neighborhood with a mentality that shuns art (and this kind of art is usually negliglble for most Iraqis anyway),” he writes.
