Fondazione Sozzani hosts Carlo Gabriele Tribbioli who presents A Season in Slemani a book published by Humboldt Books.
Between March and June 2019, several artists were invited to the city of Sulaymaniyah (Slemani, in Kurdish) in the Kurdistan region of Iraq to develop their own projects. The result was a program of artist residencies and remote collaborations, which led to a necessary engagement with the territory. Slemani is a remote and difficult-to-reach place, which the artists had the opportunity to experience in the context of everyday life, despite the critical issues that characterize it. The book brings together the results of this program and presents a selection of photographic and documentary materials that recount and contextualize the processes. The volume is completed by a text by Ilaria Gianni (independent curator and writer) and a chronology by Camilla Insom (researcher in Iranian studies, La Sapienza University, Rome).
