Through engaging communities in sharing the history and skills of Iraq’s boatbuilding traditions, Ark Re-imagined regenerates local economies and creates sustainable livelihoods. The project envisions a Mesopotamian Ark, based on boat types and vernacular architectural forms that persisted on the Tigris and Euphrates river system in an unbroken tradition for many millennia. With this work, artist Rashad Salim brings people together in shared cultural heritage and advances psychological health in a landscape scarred by loss and division.
