As they near the end of their nine-month self-led residency in October, we invite you to join our artists-in-residence for two days of open studios. As part of their residency with MMAG, and alongside a wider community of cultural producers hosted by the Foundation, thirty-two artists and collectives working across mediums, including painting, sculpture, sound, research, and text, will open their studios to the public, inviting us into their processes and practices. The studios are spread across the Foundation’s four buildings: the lesser amman library, Villa Qaawar, Al-Ghazalayn, and Villa Abu Huda.
The open studios will take place on Thursday, September 8, and Friday, September 9, 2022, from 4–9 pm. Poster design تصميم: abdullah sharw

Our first planner. We had lots of trials with this one. We tried handsewing, printing at home, until we found a great printer that offered us beatiful hardcovers.

I'm an artist working in drawing, painting embroidery and digital art.
visitor, and artist, through inviting spontaneous organic play with forms, words, and lines.
Working with organic forms and creatures budding in fabric and on paper imbued with delicate embroidery to explore femininity and feminisms. I received my BA and MA in Fine Art from Central Saint Martins and a postgraduate diploma in the arts in therapy and education, returning to Amman in 2016.
My research practice delves into archives and botany, herbariums, natural history and the use of the arts as therapeutic tools in discovering one’s relationship with the self and others. Working with notions of women, nature, and storytelling and the fictional autobiographical aspect of these creatures. These drawings become a medley of morphing creatures, chimaera, an amalgamation of biologists’ drawings and observations and art
forms in nature embedded with what may be known as women’s work, like embroidery or fine line drawings and flowing watercolours. I have explored turning these 2D drawings into wearable dresses and garments and hope to explore this area further working with digital tools and traditional printing methods like silkscreen and linocut printing.
I am a co-founder of Basbous.inc shop with Tala Abdulhadi.
