Iraqi women on Women's Day,
Wedad Makki Orfali (Wedad Orfa Lee), was born in Baghdad in 1929 The artist Wedad Al-Urfa told me that she loves Baghdad, and that Baghdad has charmed and inspired her because it is a beautiful, ancient and dreamy city, so she always wanted to paint for Baghdad something new and beautiful that no one had painted, something that would do justice to the city in which she spent the most beautiful days of her life. The Iraqi painter Widad Al-Urfa Lee, who has a special style, makes the viewer feel as if he is sitting in Baghdad reading one of the stories of One Thousand and One Nights
Zaha Hadid, whose full name is Zaha Muhammad Hussein Hadid al-Lahibi, is an Iraqi-British architect, born in Baghdad to a family of Mosuli origin on October 31, 1950 and died in Miami on March 31, 2016 She graduated in 1977 from the Architectural Association in London, worked as a teaching assistant at the College of Architecture in 1987, and organized as a visiting professor at several universities in Europe and America, including Harvard, Chicago, Hamburg, Ohio, Columbia, New York and Yale. When asked about any Baghdad memorial she would prefer to be a "media symbol of Baghdad", she did not hesitate to see the Kahramana monument as the best because it symbolizes the golden age of Rashid in Baghdad and the stories of a thousand and one nights, and this is mainly related to the global collective imagination of Baghdad, and the martyr's monument because it is the most expressive of arrogance and sacrifices Iraqis in contemporary history
Thank you for watching
