Nakhla for Arts Keeps Iraq’s Cultural Memory in Care
An Iraqi arts NGO supporting artists, stewarding collections, and building connections between contemporary art, heritage, and community.
Field notes
Nakhla for Arts combines collection custodianship with artist development and community programming. Its homepage identifies a 20-work Abdulrazzaq Abdulwahid Collection and separate works by Canadian-Iraqi artist Fuad Hamdi, then connects those holdings to workshops, lectures, presentation platforms, and cultural cooperation. A second strand is Nakhla Plaza, described as a proposed mixed-use cultural destination in Ramadi, Anbar, incorporating art, hospitality, retail, and leisure.
