With an official invitation to Dr. Tahrir Ali to participate in the exhibition (Iraqi Spaces) organized by the Iraqi Labor Council in Dubai to celebrate Iraqi plastic art and the selection of pioneering, important and influential Iraqi artists in the Arab plastic arena, notably, the plastic artist was chosen Dr. Tahrir Ali to be the only visual artist to participate and represent Basra University as an academic professor in the College of Fine Arts. Tahrir spoke about his participation.
Three works of different sizes that I participated in in the exhibition are painted in acrylic colors on the canvas and in different materials..My works dealt with the theme of women, which is an extension of the personality of Ishtar, the goddess of love and beauty in the ancient Mesopotamian civilization, and its use as formalism with many expressive dimensions and my attempt to link that character with the contemporary world of women while she is talking with herself Through the shape of a mythical bird that represents a reflection of the inner world of women, their hidden dreams and their repressions ... as a dialogue between the visible and the invisible in a world that raises many contradictions and restrictions on women, he added. The exhibition was inaugurated by Dr. Salah Abdul Aziz Al Qasim, advisor to the Dubai Culture and Arts Authority, in the presence of the Director of the Labor Council Al-Iraqi in Dubai and the Al-Owais Cultural Foundation, and Dr. Tahrir Ali was honored in this forum and the acquisition of his artistic works
