The work of artist Luma Jasim, who came to Idaho through refugee resettlement, is on display at Boise State University through Oct. 3. 
Find features on Luma in the Idaho Statesman and the Boise Weekly.
Catch Luma's performance at Treefort:
  • Friday, Sept. 24
  • 10:10 - 10:50 p.m.
  • At LED, 1420 W. Grove St., Boise
Luma, born in Iraq, has lived through three wars, an economic blockade and the U.S. invasion of Iraq. She relocated to Istanbul in 2006 and to Boise two years later. She earned an art degree from Boise State University in 2013 and now displays her work internationally.
​

Luma's exhibit, Long Term Vision, explores the continuous scenario of refugees in places of conflict where higher powers play a role in keeping the conflict going.
