The Modern Art Iraq Archive (MAIA) project works to document Iraq’s rich but threatened modern artistic heritage. MAIA launched in February 2011 with an initial body of content representing over 700 artistic works and documents. This project prototypes a participatory content-management system to trace, share and enable community enrichment around this art. MAIA houses images of works of art, many of them now lost, from the Iraqi Museum of Modern Art in Baghdad, as well as publications, exhibition catalogs, and personal documentation.
