Overview

Heather Raffo’s internationally-acclaimed show examines the lives, hopes, dreams and fears of nine Iraqi and Iraqi-American women in the time between the first and second Gulf Wars. From a sexy painter to a radical communist to an ex-pat in London to a woman watching her country torn apart daily via American television, Raffo explores previously uncharted territory to capture what it means to be a woman against a backdrop of war and violence. John Lahr of the New Yorker called it “an example of how art can remake the world.”
