Mosul Bridge decorated with Human Rights murals by Iraqi artists to mark Human Rights Day
10 December 2020
The creativity of Iraq’s youth was on display in Mosul city as murals were launched to celebrate Human Rights Day.
Valantina from Ninewa submitted a powerful and evocative design which was transformed into a wall mural on Mosul Bridge by Imprint of Hope. Murals featuring design concepts by Graffitti Hasan from Najaf, Aryan Abdel Rahman Mohamed from Halabja, and Hazhar Mohammad from Sulaymaniyah were also painted in Mosul. The murals reflect the theme of Human Rights Day 2020: ensuring human rights are central to the response to COVID-19 and recovery efforts.
