"A Kerim: Capturing the Essence of Southern Kurdistan, Iraq in 1925" Step into the vibrant world of A Kerim, a talented artist who beautifully depicted life in southern Kurdistan, Iraq during the year 1925. Through his brushstrokes, he brought to life the rich cultural heritage and diverse landscapes of this region. In one painting, we see a proud Kurdish tribesman adorned in traditional attire. His weathered face tells stories of resilience and strength that have been passed down through generations. A testament to the enduring spirit of these people. A Kurdish lady graces another canvas with her best costume. Her colorful garments reflect both elegance and tradition, showcasing the beauty that lies within Iraqi culture. Moving from individuals to cityscapes, A Kerim transports us to Baghdad's bustling streets. In one artwork capturing a street scene, we witness daily life unfolding before our eyes - merchants haggling over prices while pedestrians navigate their way through crowded alleys. Amidst this urban chaos is Suq El Khubur - a native bread market where locals gather for their daily sustenance. Here we witness small-scale trade that may bring little gain but plays an integral role in sustaining communities. The artist also takes us beyond Baghdad's borders as he paints Turkish money changers conducting business on its streets. Their presence serves as a reminder of Iraq's historical ties with neighboring nations and its position as a hub for commerce and exchange. Not far away from these busy scenes lies Muhaila, where cargo is being unloaded from boats along its shores. This glimpse into riverine activity highlights how vital waterways were for transportation and trade during this era. As our journey continues through A Kerim's artistry, we find ourselves standing at North Gate - gazing upon an enchanting view of Baghdad's streets stretching out before us like veins pulsating with energy and vitality. But it is not just architecture or landscapes that captivate A Kerim's attention.
