A huge plastic ball blocked the traffic, placed in the middle of the street of Karada Dajel in front of Ridha Alwan Café. 1.000 IRAQI LIP PRINTS are 1.000 evidences of crime happening every second in Baghdad. Ameen Mokdad collected 1.000 empty carelessly discarded water bottles from the streets by his own hand. With his intervention he wanted to create an awareness of the enormous waste pollution in Baghdad’s streets. Karada Dajel is the thriving shopping street and the heart of the city.

BODY PERCUSSION (performance)
On the stage of the empty and unused Abu Nawas Theater the composer and musician Ameen Mokdad conducted a body percussion, using the human body to creates sounds and vibrations. Ameen Mokdad is interested in activating social interaction through music. All participants in the BAGHDAD WALK were invited to join on stage and take part in the performance. The Abu Nawas Theater was once one of the attractions on the boulevard Abu Nawas, mainly used for film screenings. An unresolved property situation keeps private investors away. The theater building is in the hands of the federal state government Baghdad (Amanat), which mainly uses the theater as a waste-disposal site.
