The Birds of War exhibition was initiated to mark the fourth anniversary of the Iraq invasion and to raise awareness about the on-going plight of Iraqi people. 

The event was a unique opportunity to view a dynamic collaboration between British and Iraqi artists and their interpretations of the Iraq conflict. The exhibition took place at the Candid Arts Trust Gallery, London in April 2007 and featured over 60 visual artworks.

Some of the work took a satirical stance, and attacked the orchestrators of the war: Bush, Blair, Cheney, Rumsfeld et al. It also looked at the deep sense of loss felt by the Iraqi people, the destruction of their heritage and the unforgivable use and long-term effects of cluster bombs and depleted uranium on the region.

The response to the exhibition from the press and the public was exceptionally good, with many requests for the artists to take the show to other cities.

Proceeds from the on-line sale of some of this artwork will go towards exhibiting at further venues when possible.

A selection of Tanya Tier's work can be viewed at two forthcoming exhibitions. Click here  for further information, or select Exhibition News on the menu. 

Please look through our gallery to see some of the work which was shown in London, and to view the pieces and prints which are now for sale on-line.

Any gallery owners or centres interested in hosting this exhibition (or a scaled-down version of it), should contact Tanya Tier:

The London event was supported by Stop the War Coalition and CND, and we are also indebted to Fineprint, Archos, 2DTV and ePoD UK for all their help in making it possible.
