Baghdad artists make walls their canvas

In Baghdad, concrete blocks initially set up to prevent insurgent attacks have been transformed into vibrant murals by Iraqi artists. These artworks, sponsored by the city and private companies, bring color and beauty to the streets, celebrating Iraqi civilization. The initiative not only provides artists with a unique experience but also garners community appreciation. Notably, the murals lining the road to Baghdad International Airport offer a welcoming and parting image of Iraq to travelers.
