How did this grant contribute to the realization of your project in regard to artistic exchange, local cultural development and/or the promotion of cultural diversity?

The lecture performance "in_visible" by Modjgan Hashemian is a German-Iraqi production and was developed in cooperation with artists from TARKIB Baghdad Contemporary Arts Institute. in_visible is a telescope that enables Iraqi artists to lend to a foreign public an insider's view of Iraqi society and culture. in_visible is a collaboration between artists who inhabit different cultural spheres. Through the collaborative process, our thoughts and feelings have blended together to finally form this artwork, which hopefully brings to the fore our commonalities.
