Exhibit lets Iraqi women tell stories of heartbreak and hope

Much gratitude to Martha Ann Kirk for being a peacemaker and a connector, linking women in Iraq to people around the world via the exhibit:

“Iraqi Women of Three Generations:
Challenges, Education and Hopes for Peace.”

 

During two recent summer research trips to northern Iraq, Sister Martha Ann Kirk gleaned the perspectives of more than 140 Iraqi girls and women living in this violence-wracked corner of the world.

She took photos and notes, sat in living rooms, broke bread and walked neighborhoods to understand and document their experiences.

Some have lived there for years. Others fled there from more volatile areas of Iraq. They range in age from grandmothers to young girls.

A professor of religious studies at the University of the Incarnate Word, Kirk will show her work Sunday in an exhibit at a local church. She also will participate in a discussion and reception.  READ MORE
