In the 1930s, an archaeological team at the Penn Museum captured nearly 300 photographs of Yezidi life in northern Iraq — weddings, pilgrimages, laughing children. After the 2014 genocide destroyed homes, shrines, and local archives, those images took on new meaning.

Our postdoctoral fellow Nathaniel Brunt co-leads the Sersal Project with Penn PhD candidate Marc Marín Webb.

They present on their work at Penn's Middle East Center on April 23, 5:30–7:00 pm ET.
