- Summary
- Dia al-Azzawi is a renown Iraqi contemporary artist whose graphic design work is largely undocumented. His multifarious involvement with graphic design encompassing a rich output of illustration, publication and print design as well as a variety of promotional, curatorial and critical activities is unmistakably a form of activism: a fervent expression of his social, political and artistic position and an energetic endeavour to bring about change. This book outlines al-Azzawi's graphic activism, focusing on the period between the mid-1960s and the mid-1980s. It charts his journey in design from his beginnings in his native Baghdad in the 1960s to his later work at the Iraqi Cultural Center in London.
