Iris Shlomo

I am a 20-year-old Jewish performing artist from Amsterdam. My father was born in Israel as the son of Jewish refugees from Bagdad, Iraq. My mother is Dutch but also very connected to Jewish history and culture.

Her father, my grandfather, grew up in the second world war and his family helped a Jewish woman hide during the war. Both sides remind me of the importance to share the Jewish story, my medium is art.
