For the second installment of the Celebrating Our Neighborhood KRM and LFPL partnership series, we highlight the diverse arts and culture of Iraq. During this event series, we will explore the history, arts, cuisine and music traditions of Iraq through UofL historians, artists, former refugees, and members of the local Kurdish and Iraq communities.
