A journey through a rare archive documenting the Kurdistan region of Iraq between 1974 and 1992, and at the same time a son's search for his lost father, the photographer Twana Abdullah, who was murdered. The box of negatives he left behind holds a portrait of a region through years of war and displacement, and the volume reads it as both a public and a private record.

ABOUT

SpineIndex is an archive of independent books on photography and visual culture: photobooks, publications, design books and self-published editions — the kind of work that rarely makes it into bookshop windows or mainstream catalogues. It exists to document, connect, and keep visible a world of publishers, artists, and makers who operate outside conventional distribution. A living reference for anyone who takes this territory seriously — collectors, researchers, students, and the simply curious.
