| made in tashkeel e-vite . 2019 |
i'm happy to announce my participation in this year's 'made in tashkeel' exhibition. it's truly special being a part of this show, as this marks ten editions of the annual 'made in tashkeel' summer show. i was in the very first 'made in tashkeel' back in 2008 (with this piece i barely remember), and also exhibited again in 2016 (see here). so it's really special being a part of this show once again, seeing how my practise has evolved over the many years, and my relationship with tashkeel is still going strong a decade beyond.
another exciting announcement about participating this year – i'm happy to announce that the work exhibited is in collaboration with my dearest friend mohammed al shaibani. i've known momo for ten years as well, so this feels like a celebration of our creativity and friendship. we've both gone through our own personal journeys, but through it all, we've managed to grow up together and share some of the funniest experiences in life together. love you momo.
i won't give much about the project just yet – you'll have to come to the show to check it out. 'made in tashkeel' runs from the 19 june - 10 september 2019. the opening reception happens tonight (18 june) at 7pm. more info on the exhibition here.
stay tuned for a future post very soon about the project titled 'saturdaze' - a mini comic by momo and i. until then, see you at the opening of 'made in tashkeel'.
