Al Mudhif - A Confluence is a collaboration of Sarah Kavage and Philadelphia-based artist Yaroub Al-Obaidi to build a mudhif at SCEE, possibly the first such structure to be built in North America! A mudhif is a traditional Iraqi ceremonial structure, made of bundled and woven marsh-growing reeds, that serves as a hospitality and celebration space. Our mudhif will be made from invasive Phragmites reeds that were locally harvested nearby. Small groups can go inside with masks and distancing, additional structures outside the mudhif create an outdoor gathering area too.
