The Art of Survival: A Yazidi Cultural Archive

In collaboration with Google Arts & Culture, the United Nations has published four unique digital stories commemorating the strength and vitality of the Yazidi people following the 2014 genocide in Iraq carried out by Da’esh. The stories were created by female survivors of genocide through a series of artistic workshops as part of the Yazidi Cultural Archives project, developed through a partnership between Yazda, a community-led organisation that aids survivors of genocide in Iraq and around the world, Community Jameel, CULTURUNNERS, the Office of the UN Secretary-General’s Envoy on Technology and the World Health Organisation, with support from the Iraq Cultural Health Fund, as part of the Healing Arts initiative.
