We are here in Sulimany, Iraqi Kurdistan, early in our month of Mask and Puppet Work and collaborations with local artists. We have now started having meetings and are being very well received with a lot of enthusiasm, smiles and positive negotiations. Had our first meeting with The Institute of Fine Art, Sulimany University. We shall be working with staff and student starting next week.
We have also established a very good relationship with Suly On, group of contempory artists,visual,performance and media. 40 or more members. www.sulyon.com.
The forth member now of our core team of artists, Sulimany resident, is Siya San Saravan, film maker, visual artist and local network "guru". A fine addition of local energy to the team.
Great to see you in Sulimany. It sounds like a great start - be thinking of you. I look forward to seeing your photos and videos from the period. And don't forget that if you want to develop things still further and think there's a place for H+B in your plans, then we'll be very enthusiastic. Bob
