The Dalloul Art Foundation (DAF) presents Prints & Printmaking, a unique exhibition celebrating the artistry of Arab printmakers. The exhibition will showcase a rich selection of fine art prints on paper from the DAF collection, many of which have hardly been on public display. 

Comprising of more that 310 fine art handmade prints, Prints & Printmaking features the creations of 34 renowned Arab artists from across the Middle East and North Africa, including: Farid Belkahia, Chaïbia Talal, Dia Al Azzawi, Rafa Nasiri, Suad al-Attar, Marwan Kassab-Bachi, Walid Abu Shakra, Kamal Boullata, Mustafa El Hallaj, Huguette Caland, Shafic Abboud, Halim Jurdak, Samira Badran, Mohammad El Rawas, Ayman Baalbaki, Said Baalbaki, Yvette Achkar - amongst many other notable Arab printmakers who have shaped the medium’s evolution.

In addition to showcasing a wide range of prints from DAF’s extensive collection, the exhibition will also feature archival material, unique artists' books, and an authentic copy of the first book ever printed in the Eastern part of the Ottoman Empire, The Book of Psalms, which was printed in the monastery of Saint Anthony of Qozhaya in Lebanon in 1610. The book has been borrowed on loan, courtesy of la Bibliothèque Orientale de l’Université Saint-Joseph, USJ, in Beirut.

Apart from the prints, the show will include 4 filmed interviews produced and conducted by DAF with esteemed modern and contemporary Arab artists-printmakers, including Mohammad Rawas, Samira Badran, Said Baalbaki, and Zeina Badran.

As part of the exhibition's immersive experience, DAF will offer a series of printmaking workshops at its space, led by Lebanese printmaker Ahmad Ghaddar, aka Renoz (b. 1994). These workshops will provide art enthusiasts with a hands-on opportunity to explore the world of printmaking, allowing them to engage with the medium in a unique and personal way. Further details will be released on DAF's website and social channels.
