These themes are handled by the artist in paintings, sculptures and prints, often of monumental scale.  Fundamentally he attempts, through the representation of suffering, to demonstrate the common, binding factors that exist between different cultures and peoples.  The most iconic example of this is found in the work *Sabra and Shatila* (1982-1985), the artist's comment on the slaughter of Palestinian refugees by Phalangist militias during the Israeli invasion of Lebanon in 1982. \r\n"},{"locale":"nl","short_description":"","description":"De Iraakse kunstenaar Dia Al Azzawi (°1939) studeerde in 1962 als archeoloog af aan de universiteit van Bagdad, iets wat zichtbare sporen heeft achtergelaten in zijn artistiek oeuvre doorspekt met verwijzingen naar folklore en de Arabische geschiedenis.
