Participation in AR PAVILION HELSINKI – MASS MEMORY MACHINES
Saddam Jumaily (born Saddam Al Saeedi in Basra, Iraq, 1974) is a painter and sculptor with a significant following in his country, where he is known for works that use symbolism to deal with memory and nostalgia.
From 1999-2000 Jumaily studied for a Bachelor’s degree in Visual Arts (Painting) at Basra University College of Fine Arts, Iraq, where he also completed an MA. He later became a respected lecturer at the university, where his thinking and art was much valued by his students.
In 2010 Jumaily began to receive death threats from religious fundamentalist groups both from within the university and outside. He was accused and persecuted for purportedly advocating atheism. He was forced to leave Iraq for Jordan, but returned a year later. After several incidents and deaths in his circle, he was forced to flee the country once more. He has since been based in Amman, where he has continued his artistic work under highly precarious circumstances.
As well as being a respected painter Jumaily is both an editor and writer and has worked for several publications in Iraqi, as well as for other Arab-language newspapers and magazines.

Participation in AR PAVILION HELSINKI – MASS MEMORY MACHINES
Saddam Jumaily (born Saddam Al Saeedi in Basra, Iraq, 1974) is a painter and sculptor with a significant following in his country, where he is known for works that use symbolism to deal with memory and nostalgia.
From 1999-2000 Jumaily studied for a Bachelor’s degree in Visual Arts (Painting) at Basra University College of Fine Arts, Iraq, where he also completed an MA. He later became a respected lecturer at the university, where his thinking and art was much valued by his students.
In 2010 Jumaily began to receive death threats from religious fundamentalist groups both from within the university and outside. He was accused and persecuted for purportedly advocating atheism. He was forced to leave Iraq for Jordan, but returned a year later. After several incidents and deaths in his circle, he was forced to flee the country once more. He has since been based in Amman, where he has continued his artistic work under highly precarious circumstances.
As well as being a respected painter Jumaily is both an editor and writer and has worked for several publications in Iraqi, as well as for other Arab-language newspapers and magazines.
Arriving with his wife the textile artist Kholod Hawash their first stop at AR was at the Saaren kartano – Saari residence, funded by Koneen Säätiö – Kone Foundation in Mynämäki, Southwest Finland, as part of the joint AR programme with Saastamoisen säätiö – Saastamoinen Foundation Residency in Helsinki.
