Founded in 1992 in Baghdad’s Waziriya district, Hewar Gallery emerged during a time of hardship, defying war and sanctions to become a vital space for Iraqi artists. Unlike traditional art institutions, it was not just a gallery but a refuge for a generation shaped by conflict. Since its inception, Hewar has hosted over 300 exhibitions, along with music, poetry, and literature events, fostering artistic and intellectual exchange. Its Café welcomes university students and cultural figures, creating a dynamic hub for discussion. It has also played a role in establishing newspapers, artistic collectives, and civil society organizations.
