Al Markhiya Gallery to Open “Print Friends” Exhibition Tuesday at Fire Station

Al Markhiya Gallery will open the “Print Friends” exhibition next Tuesday at its Fire Station: Artist in Residence location, featuring 14 artists and designers from the Arab world presenting artworks inspired by “Street of the Arab Nation,” a painting by Qatari artist Yousef Ahmad.

Drawing on the painting, the exhibition evokes the intellectual, social and cultural atmosphere of the Arab world in the 1950s and 1960s through varied visual interpretations that explore its themes and artistic language or rework and abstract them, connecting historical memory with contemporary Arab visual culture and printmaking.

The participating artists and studios are Ibrahim Al Dhuwadi, Ananas Studio, Mobius Design Studio, Omaima Dajani, Hussein Al Azat, Khawla Al Shaibani, Zaid Esbaitan, Fatima Emad, Kinda Ghanoum, Mohammed Sharaf, Maryam Al Humaid, Nasser Nasrallah, Naima Ben Ayad and Naila Al Sada.

Each participant presents an artistic response as a limited-edition screen print measuring 50 by 70 centimetres. Together, the 14 works form a collective artistic archive that revisits an important period in Arab visual memory from a contemporary perspective.
