Shaybandar Cafe: The Martyrs Cafe custom tattoo for Toka 🇮🇶 

Shaybandar Café is a one of the oldest and most famous coffee and tea shops in Baghdad, Iraq. Established in 1907 as printing shop, Shaybandar is a beacon of Iraqi culture and space of radical scholarship. Academic, thinkers, and scholars, poets and artists alike have met at this café located in Iraq’s intellectual hub, Al Muttanabi street. As a radical community space Shaybandar held concerts playing traditionally Iraqi maqam, returning all the proceeds to charity in Baghdad. Likewise, in 1948, protesters gathered at the cafe to hold political demonstrations against the Anglo-Iraqi treaty creating the British mandate (occupation) of Iraq. 

During the US occupation of Iraq, Mutanabbi street was bombed, Shaybandar was completely destroyed and 100 martyrs ascended. Owner, Al-Khashali lost four of his sons and his grandson in the explosion. In the traditional resilient Iraq fashion the cafe is was rebuilt, as was Mutanabbi street gaining a new name: The Martyrs Cafe. 

Shaybandar stands as bold image of the revolutionary, intellectual and resilience that my beloved homeland holds. The pain of loss can never be erased, but the will to allow pain’s carving knife to be space of creation and recreation is the very meaning of resilience.
