This exhibition examines the Baghdad Modern Art Group, a significant artistic collective that shaped the course of modern art in Iraq and the broader Middle East. Through paintings, sculptures, and archival materials, the show traces the group's experimental approaches to form, color, and subject matter, and considers their lasting influence on contemporary practice. The exhibition highlights how these artists navigated modernism while engaging with local cultural traditions and political contexts.
