MA’DAN - A collection of monumental pieces to fragile heritage.
MA’DAN explores the architectural heritage of the Marsh Arabs of southern Iraq through sculptural furniture and installations inspired by the Mudhif, a communal reed structure built through collective knowledge and craft.
The project translates material, gesture, and structure into contemporary forms that carry cultural memory while reflecting on the fragile future of Iraq’s wetlands, threatened by climate change, dam construction, and oil extraction.
