SOUNDBITE 1 (Arabic): AWS AL-BANDAR, Artist
"I've been specializing in painting on glass since the 1990s when the art flourished during the period of the (international) embargo on Iraq, as it was hard to obtain paints. And we began to manufacture the pigments, which is a local industry, by exploiting the available materials."
