Review – Makou : une revue électrique d’art irakien contre l’isolement / مجلة (ماكو): وسيلة افتراضية ضد عزلة الفنانين

Read the new review by Nour Al Zuhairy dealing with Makou magazine on our blog!

Since the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic, many cultural institutions, such as galleries and museums, had to cancel and/or postpone their activities. Therefore, the artists and the institutions are disconnected from their audience. To keep in touch with his fellow Iraqi artists, the London-based Iraqi artist Dia Azzawi founded the online magazine Makou (There isn’t) in May 2020. By providing a platform specialized in contemporary Iraqi art, Makou describes itself as a “free zone of creativity”. The first issue of the magazine focuses on the pandemic and its consequences on art production.
