A group of community representatives and many artists of different artistic talents participated in this discussion session, which was held in the House Coexistence in Sinuni. The Director of the Artists Syndicate in Nineveh was also hosted online to clarify some questions and inquiries.
Participants expressed their opinions about the importance of such sessions, since art is one of the most influential means at the present time on public opinion, consolidating the culture of societies, sending people’s voice and expressing their problems.
Dakhil Jano _ Graduate of the Faculty of Fine Arts – Department of Cinema believes that such sessions create a suitable ground for artists and unite their efforts in how to convey the suffering of their society, and if there are no places that gather them such as theater halls and financial and moral support, they cannot work well, in addition to employing graduates on the staff of a ministry culture so that they can manage cultural institutions and develop the cultural aspect of community service.
