A nameless photo exhibition with fifty pictures shows the real story of war torn Iraqi Kurdistan through the eyes of Iraqi photographers. The location of the exhibition is a bit eerie but very powerful: one Saddam Husseins former torture chambers.

During his dictatorial regime Saddam Hussein tortured thousands of people in the Red Prison. Metrography, the curator of this exhibition, choose this place specifically due to its poignant past. "This spot is loaded with historical significance and we wanted to use this ominous location for a more positive purpose", says editor in chief Stefano Carini.

The contrast between the atrocities of the past and those​ of the present as well as the beauty of the pictures from Metrography of daily life in Kurdistan on display is absolutely mind blowing. The images are doing exactly what they should, compelling people to think about what is happening around them.
