Living Heritage of Commerce in Ancient City - Iraq

Amidst the rapid modernization of the Kurdistan Region’s capital, Erbil’s traditional markets remain the resilient pulse of the city’s cultural identity. Every Friday, the Bird Market and the 'Loka' (second-hand) market transform into a living gallery of history and human interaction. This photo series documents the preservation of ancestral commerce, where collectors of antiquities and breeders of rare birds sustain a social fabric that predates the city’s modern skyline. These markets are not merely commercial spaces, but sanctuaries of nostalgia and communal memory in one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world.
