Humans of Kurdistan
The "Humans Of Kurdistan" project aims to present the cultural diversity of the country. A look at the faces but also the stories that lie behind each of them.

My name is Jum’a, and I am 62 years old. I have witnessed many events in this city over the years, including my time working at an ancient bathhouse where I cleaned for four years. In the past, people frequently visited the bathhouse, but due to its age—over 500 years old—much of the structure has collapsed. For the past eight years, I have been transforming it into a tea house. Thanks to its rich history, it now attracts many tourists daily. We offer guests traditional Kurdish music and tea, preserving and sharing our heritage. Truly, we are “eating the bread of our history.”
