As a branch of philosophy, aesthetics is traditionally concerned with the theory of beauty, the cultivation of taste and the theory of art. For this special issue, we utilize an anthropological conception of aesthetics which refers to the productive processes of expression and the discerning of visual events in a culturally specific manner. In this way, this special issue is aligning with a relativistic approach to aesthetics and understanding art. At the same time, in the underexplored field of Kurdish visual art, we have very, very little in the way of historical or ethnographic documentation of the art itself and no scholarly criticism of the art, from which to build an understanding.
