Group of Media Department Students Visit Art Exhibition in Erbil

On Thursday, 12 November 2026, under the supervision of Assistant Lecturer Ahmed Jamal Hama Karim, a group of second- and fourth-year students from the Media Department at Cihan University–Erbil visited in an art exhibition held at the Erbil Youth Hub Gallery in Erbil.

The exhibition, entitled “Roberto Saviano,” was featured the artistic works of Dr. Farhad Pirbal, an artist, writer, and university lecturer. The participating students included Sarkar Hussein and Yousif Ahmed from the fourth year, as well as Raed Mohammed, Mohammed Ayad, and Dilzar Zrar from the second year. During the exhibition, they had the opportunity to view Dr. Farhad Pirbal’s artworks up close.

The exhibition featured a collection of paintings and visual artworks by Dr. Farhad Pirbal, created using a variety of artistic styles, colours, lines, and symbolic forms. The artworks reflected artistic diversity, portraying human figures, faces, eyes, and abstract shapes through different colours and compositions. Some paintings were particularly notable for their combinations of colours and the use of both simple and complex lines, offering visitors opportunities for reflection and different artistic interpretations.

The exhibition also displayed a selection of Dr. Farhad Pirbal’s published works related to literature and art. This provided visitors with an opportunity to explore another aspect of his literary and artistic contributions alongside his visual artworks.

During their visit, the Media Department students toured the different sections of the gallery, where they closely examine Dr. Farhad Pirbal’s paintings and artistic works.
