This free evening of new work offers the fruits of connections among artists and scholars at the University of Basra and their U.S. counterparts, principally in the Boston area. The performance is part of ArtWeek Boston.
The Basra-Boston Project began in 2015 with online dialogue within pairs of scholars and artists in Boston and Basra: two archaeologists, two musicians-composers, and two visual artists. Playwrights and poets engaged with each pair. The participants have now created works for the public, with exhibits, presentations, and dramatic and poetry readings scheduled for Boston and Basra.
