Al-Sulaymaniyah
has opened its doors to the Kurdistan Region’s first International Peace and
Coexistence Exhibition, bringing together 55 artists from eight countries under
the banner of the Kurdistan Art Assembly.
Exhibition
supervisor Sheelan Suleiman told Shafaq News on Tuesday that the event included
both artists from within the Region and Kurdish artists living abroad who
sought to share their vision with their compatriots in Kurdistan.
According to
Suleiman, the exhibition drew a large audience and will run for one day, with
further editions planned across other cities in the Kurdistan Region to broaden
participation.
The showcase,
she noted, presents works that embody themes of harmony, stability, and love
among nations, adding, “It is a collective message that coexistence is the only
path to a better future.”
Organizers
described the initiative as a landmark in al-Sulaymaniyah’s cultural calendar,
reinforcing the city’s role as a meeting point for art, diversity, and
dialogue.
