{"product_id":"baghdad-dawn-kate-nolan","title":"Baghdad Dawn, Kate Nolan","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eIn 1981, when I was just two, my family moved from Ireland to Baghdad for the following five years. My father was the photographer of our family and it’s his curated albums that I have been re-visiting, trying to understand and recollect our time there. A civil engineer and a tourist, the images switch easily between architectural, family album and holiday snaps. He was employed by a German company to work on the construction of a new modernist area, Haifa Street, designed by renowned architect Rifat Chadirji, under the direction of President Saddam Hussein. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eFor me, there are no real memories, just a sense of experience from what the family album evokes and the documents and ephemera my father has kept. Through my ongoing conversations with my parents and sister, I hear of the disconnect as ‘ex-pats’ from the local community, the fearlessness of my mother driving around Baghdad with her two young daughters in what was technically wartime, and I continuously question my memories of what felt like a long holiday.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/katenolan.ie\/\"\u003ekatenolan.ie\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor those that are not familiar with the project, \u003ca title=\"TLP Editions\" href=\"https:\/\/photoireland.org\/project\/tlp-editions\/\"\u003eTLP Editions\u003c\/a\u003e is an ongoing collection, produced and designed by \u003ca title=\"PhotoIreland\" href=\"https:\/\/photoireland.org\/about-photoireland\/\"\u003ePhotoIreland\u003c\/a\u003e, that presents work by contemporary artists in the form of uncomplicated publications.
