CONFLICT
by Mohamed Waheed
Soundinstallation
Unique artwork, 2015
Mohamed Waheed presents a gramophone with two
horns. One horn is very stylish and the visitor
is invited to listen to old, traditional Baghdadian music. But the melodies of the Baghdadian
songs are distorted by ugly sounds of war which
can be heard through the other horn .
Mohamed Waheed (b. Baghdad, 1989) is currently
studying at the Institute of Musical Study. He
additionally works as an art designer in film and
theatre. Mohammed has been a calligrapher since
he was 11 years old, an art form he learned from
his father, Waheed Alwan.
