Join visual artist and researcher Ahmad Nabil for a bilingual writing and drawing workshop as part of the concluding event of the 2024/25 Jameel Library Commission Fetus Exodus.
In this session, participants respond to the themes of Fetus Exodus through a series of creative exercises. Together, they imagine new myths, stories and creatures. No prior experience or proficiency is required, and participants are welcome to work in either Arabic or English.
Contributions from the session will be compiled into a digital zine as part of the Jameel Library’s Collection.
The session is preceded by a talk between Ahmad Nabil and Jameel Library. Learn more and register here.
