Baghdad pop-up show could rise from the ruins

Artists hope to restage an exhibition in Baghdad that first took place in a bomb-blasted shopping centre in the Iraqi capital at the end of August. Within hours, the pop-up exhibition, titled Karrada, was shut down by the police.The Iraqi-Canadian artist Riyadh Hashim brought together 16 artists for the pop-up show in the ruins of the Al-Hadi shopping centre in the Karrada district on 30 August, after a suicide truck bomb and a co-ordinated roadside device killed more than 300 people on 3 July.
