Disco Mosul, from "The Amman Project" https://collections.artsmia.org/art/105679/

line drawing-style portrait of a man with one arm and one leg seated in a low chair; man has dark short-cropped hair and dark moustache and beard; text around figure The Amman Project (also known as the Abu Ghraib Detainee Interview Project) was initiated by Philadelphia human rights attorney Susan L. Burke, who assembled a team of lawyers and researchers leading a civil class-action lawsuit on behalf of 267 Iraqi nationals detained at Abu Ghraib Prison and other locations in Iraq. The legal team invited Philadelphia-based artist Daniel Heyman to accompany them to Amman, Jordan and Istanbul, Turkey, where they recorded depositions and conducted interviews with the former detainees. Heyman was permitted to record testimony and draw portraits of the Iraqis as they recounted their experiences to Burke and her staff. During the project, Heyman made portraits of 25 of the former Iraqi detainees, both in drypoint and as watercolor drawings. He drew his compositions and transcribed portions of their translated testimony in real time, writing the text by hand in reverse on the copper plates to ensure its correct orientation when printed. Each of the eight plates in the portfolio features portions of testimony from individual detainees. The Amman Project portfolio is a somber account of the inhumanity and brutality of war, specific to the Iraqi War (2003-10), but applicable to all wars. His portraits are restrained and formally conventional, capturing both the likeness and the character of each of the individuals portrayed. He stresses their pride and dignity, a dignity that was shattered by the horrific nature of their wartime experiences as detailed in the text excerpts, which recount allegations of torture by American and foreign civilians and other nonmilitary personnel during interrogations. This contrast between image and word, between self-respect and abuse, lies at the heart of Heyman's artistic statement, and is the source of the portfolio's powerful content. It should be noted that none of the detainees that Heyman portrays was ever charged with a crime.

I still can't quite believe & am mystified that the U.S. state of Missouri/the Republican Governor/Supreme Court allowed for the murder of totally innocent Marcellus Williams. 💔😢 Detained in custody, on death row, for a crime he didn't commit since about the year 2000. Rest In Peace! 😢

When Kafka asked why he had been detained, he was told “it is not necessary to know the truth, only that it was necessary.”
