Artworks by Minneapolis artist traveling in Karbala, Iraq

Minneapolis-based artist Sean Smuda sent artworks from his Blown Derivatives project with Muslim Peacemaker Teams Director Sami Rasouli when Sami returned to Najaf, Iraq this past February. Today, the artworks are traveling to farms, art exhibits, local streets by holy shrines and various communities in Karbala, Iraq. This display of Blown Derivatives is made possible by Iraqi artist Ibraheem Hussein, his family and artist friends. It is Smuda’s hope to have Iraqi artists create work in response to them.
