'Iraq - A Changing Heart' is an idea stemmed from a previous project set up by 'a thin place' called 'Iraq – The Forgotten Story' 'The Forgotten Story' was an idea that saw two members from 'a thin place' head for Iraq with one aim, to tell the forgotten story of the people in Iraq who are still living with the consequences of Saddam Hussain's actions and a country that was fraught with war. They linked up with a charity called the Preemptive Love Coalition, (www.preemptivelove.org) a charity in Iraq aimed at clearing the 30,000+ backlog of children that are waiting for lifesaving surgery and helping communities at odds. They also met with artists that are producing art that has been effected by the situations they have faced. A lot of what they produce has a message of peace, an art like no other. 'a thin place' photographed and documented their travels, they wanted to show the faces of these local people and artists. They wanted to tell the story these people had to tell the wider world. They bought artwork from the artists over there and exhibited it around the UK as well as running several workshops aimed at children and adults. All of this had a lot of interest and success. http://www.preemptivelove.org/shapeimage_4_link_0
