Mosul Lives Interview of Atheer Nizar, March 20, 2017

Description:
Atheer Nizar is a student in the medical school at the University of Mosul. He was born on the east bank of Mosul in 1995 and lived near Palestine Street. He is not married. His family lived in a small, nice house with two floors and a small gardent. It was not very old, about fifteen years old. He was living in this house with his married brother, father and mother in-law. His father used to take care of the house garden, and he always looked for new flowers to add to his collection. Atheer spent most of his time in his room playing video games. He went to a very special school in Mosul that accepted a limited number of students. Their teachers were all professors in the University of Mosul. His favorite memory at school is when they stayed up late at night at school to look at the moon and stars using telescopes.

Women Seated in Ecstatic Prayer, Talabani Tekiye, Kirkuk, 2016 (6)

Description:
Sheikha Sunbul gives a smile as she leads the woman to sit and transition between types of worship. Two women help another who has become wrapped up in her worship to find her place sitting. The throes of ecstasy remain with her even as she sits. The murmured prayers all in Arabic, the casual chatting is in Kurdish.

Women in Ecstatic Prayer, Talabani Tekiye, Kirkuk, 2016 (7)

Description:
The air conditioning ruffles the edges of her scarf as Sheikha Sunbul Umjunayd leads and participates in the prayer. This viewpoint is from inside the circle of worshipping women who spin around the Sheikha and other worshippers who are in an ecstatic mode. The prayer acknowledges the call from Baghdad, where Sheikh Abdul Qadir Gaylani founded the Qadiri Order, and where the mosque he founded remains in operation today. As well, as the women reach a subconscious or transcendent state, they often forsake the common prayer for exclamations, often, “Allah! Allah!”

The Sheikha, Talabani Tekiye, Kirkuk, 2016

Description:
The Sheikha is a Turcoman, fluent in Turcoman, Arabic, Kurdish, and English. Her husband, Sheikh Yusuf Talabani, married her though she did not come from a Sheikh family. Given social and religious pressures, this indicates a personal understanding and choice of the Sheikha’s gifts, which are many. During this particular visit to the tekiye, the Sheikh was away, receiving treatment in Germany for a grave illness. The Sheikha stayed to support their community, to carry on the work of worship, but her concern for her husband made speech, at one point, difficult.

"Sumer" Notebook

Description:
Prisoners used a discarded laundry detergent box to create a cover for a notebook filled with lined writing paper and bound with a piece of blue yarn inserted into two holes and tied in the back. The face of the woman in the picture on the cover has been worn or scraped away. Between numbered pages 42 and 43, there is a separate paper inserted with a note. The notebook contains a handwritten copy of a book that a prisoner wrote before going to prison. In prison, others copied it so they could have their own. The title of the book is written on page 1, Iḥyāʾ Ulum al-Dīn by the Imam Abu Ḥāmid al-Ghazālī, part one. The title of the book is different than the content. The author of the book was not actually al-Ghazālī, who was Sunni, but Muhammad Baqr al-Sadr, who was Shiʿi and whose book was banned outside of prison.

Ecstatic Motion, Talabani Tekiye, Kirkuk, 2016 (2)

Description:
Two men, who moved away from the wall just moments ago, hand in hand, unfurl their hair from their caps and begin to bow and head-bang to a chorus of “Allah! Allah!” or “God! God!” One of the men has a telltale mark on his forehead, what is known as a “zabib,” or “raisin,” in Arabic: a raised bruise on his forehead from praying and prostrating vigorously.

Men During the Sermon, Talabani Tekiye, Kirkuk, 2016 (3)

Description:
A man with his white beard listens with others to the sheikh. In deference to Kirkuk’s diversity, the language of the sermon is in Arabic. In other Kurdish-held cities such as Sulaimani or Erbil, the sermons would likely be in Kurdish. The mullah ends the sermon by affirming that there is no god to be worshipped except God and that Muhammed is the final prophet.
