Much attention has been given to
the conflict in Iraq, but much less to
the resulting humanitarian crisis
facing the Iraqi people. Since 2003
when war broke out, at least 4.7
million Iraqis have been forced to
flee their homes. Around half of the
displaced remain in Iraq, while more
than 2 million have crossed borders
into Syria and Jordan.
Originally commissioned by
Scottish Refugee Council, Life
After Iraq is an exhibition of work
by award-winning photojournalist
Angela Catlin and writer Billy
Briggs, who travelled to Syria to
document the lives of some of
the millions of ordinary Iraqis living
there after fleeing their homeland.
The exhibition now gives an
intimate insight into the lives of
Iraqi refugees who have come to
Wales seeking safety.
The Life After Iraq exhibition in Wales
has been organised by Refugee
Week Wales is coordinated by the
Welsh Refugee Council.
