Well I was working as a liaison officer in the US embassy in Baghdad and I was very fortunate to meet several Iraqi artists. Who were working in the Green Zone and exhibiting their works in secret in Baghdad . After several months it became friends with them and decided to explore the notion of taking the works to the United States for an exhibition and sale and that's basically what's happened here. But why was it to -- in particular that appeals to you why did you -- -- make connections with these -- -- why did you feel that that was important especially. In the middle of a war zone. Well. Looking at these paintings gave me an Iraqi perspective on what was happening and despite all the concrete walls and barbed wire in the machine guns that were blocking. Me in the Green -- in this nice protected area from the people of Baghdad . These artists were able to show me what it means to be an Iraqi . What what -- -- that the -- -- in this how did you become involved. Well. It opened two years ago --

   does it deal with. That the current situation on the ground in Iraq with regards to Iraqi refugees. -- violence. And so we'll. There are many different issues bits of each individual artists have chosen to address and some of those issues include things like the refugee situation.

All kinds of complications that that you must've run into as well right. Yes I was quite concerned about how to get these works in the United States because. I didn't want to violate any.
