Overview of our work in arts

Through our arts work in Iraq we build strong relationships between artists, producers, festivals, venues, curators and directors in the UK and their Iraqi counterparts. We collaboratively develop and curate a number of exciting new projects in theatre, dance, music, film and interdisciplinary creativity.

Our programmes not only resonate with our cultural agenda, but most importantly, with our partners’ needs and aspirations. We make it our priority to inspire and empower children and young adults, Iraq’s influencers and leaders of tomorrow, by connecting them to UK creativity and outreach in arts education.

Our mission to engage with, entertain and inspire audiences across Iraq.
