The ayagallery is London’s newest venue dedicated to exhibiting contemporary art predominently from Iraq, but also from the Islamic world at large.

In follow up to the British Museum’s groundbreaking Word into Art exhibition (May-Sept 2006) ayagallery presents a show featuring ‘word’ based art.  Drawn from ayagallery’s own collection of In-House art, as well as new works in a range of media, the show includes painting, sculpture, ceramics, photography and appleque (layered textile).   Selected artists are Halla Ayla, Hamza Bounoua, Taha al- Hiti, Maysaloun Faraj, Karim Farhan, Said Farhan, Rashad Selim and the budding young talent Nadya Mousawi..
