Baghdad Gallery

Studio 360

The Madarat Gallery is one of the only remaining art galleries in Baghdad. We sent journalist David Enders to visit the gallery and talk with owner and artist Hasan Nassar, who does everything he can to keep art thriving in a warzone. But before Enders got there, just traveling by car to the gallery became its own risky journey. Produced by Pejk Malinovski.
