Images of Kurdish Life
Alice Hendrickson has spent over twenty years creating woodcut prints depicting the lives of Kurds. Originally, she began drawing the resident Kurds and listening to their tales of life and their struggles. Compelled to create a witness to these tales, a body of woodcuts began to form. The Kurdish political party, now banned, presented her woodcut prints in both the Mesopotamian Culture Center in Istanbul and the Cigerxwîn Culture Center in Diyarbakir. In 2023, a Kurdish publishing company published the book Life in the East: Kurds with over 60 woodcut prints. Hendrickson has had shows of her artwork in New York City, Utah, Connecticut, the Philippines, and a major exhibition at the Russian State Museum in St. Petersburg.
