Socio-cultural layers of Baghdad

Mini Grant Projects

Layers of Baghdad is a digital platform that maps the city’s cultural, historical and spatial transformations. Through research, storytelling and community memory, it reveals how Baghdad’s urban identity has evolved across time, inviting users to explore its living heritage interactively. The project collects the investigation of images and memories into the “Layers of Baghdad website”, a map-based site that anyone can contribute to. It brings together many historical maps that show the city and how it's changed over time, like Al Madrasa Al Mustansiriya's layers of memories from being an educational centre for scholars from all over the world coming to Baghdad during the mediaeval era period till now, a cultural events centre.
