What is "najeen"

Najeen is a loose collective of Iraqi actors, artists and filmmakers that formed in 1991 in the wake of the Persian Gulf War. Before the Iraq War began in 2003, the group produced their projects mostly underground to avoid coming under the eye of the Baath Party's Ministry of Culture, whose approval was necessary for public works of art. After the American invasion of Iraq and the fall of the Baath Party, Najeen produced a short series of highly visible art projects.
