In Glasgow there will be Iraqi film screenings, a music event, a poetry night and a workshop, at The Mitchell Library, The Glad Cafe, The Poetry Club at SWG3 and Mono Cafe.
"Reel Iraq 2013 marks 10 years since the US and UK led military
invasion, against which the world mobilised in solidarity with the people of
Iraq. Reel Iraq will explore the contribution of art, culture and creativity to
Iraqi life in a time of conflict, with over 50 events taking place in London,
Edinburgh, Bristol, Glasgow, Dumfries, Leeds, Derry/Londonderry, Newcastle and
