Dépôt Aloulou


Production +

Video

In 2006 I signed the first deal in 25 years to import Iraqi dates to the US. Despite the cessation of UN sanctions, no Products of Iraq were available here. My storefront became a place where the Iraqi refugee crisis was disseminated through the dates’ tumultuous journey.


After the shipment spoiled in Syria, 10 boxes were airlifted to NYC. The parcel underwent inspection by Homeland Security and finally reached the store, where customers flocked, eager to taste the fruit that had interrogated and scandalized government agencies from Baghdad to New York. A fruit that asked questions.
