Arabic Graffiti Book
In the light of the Arab revolutions that currently bring sweeping changes to the Middle East, this book keeps an eye on the fascinating developments of graffiti and street art in this region.
Whether on the freight trucks of Lebanon, along village alleyways in Bahrain, on the bullet-riddled walls of Palestine, or adorning the walls of Western metropolises and designer bags, Arabic script has experienced a revival. Graffiti writers are increasingly experimenting with calligraphy on walls, and young designers are creating new fonts and type designs in books, galleries and public spaces. At times, Arabic graffiti voices the suffering of a nation, while in other contexts it serves as a quest for identity. Regardless whether the writing is in Beirut, Gaza, Tehran, Paris, London, Berlin or Montréal, Arabic graffiti cries out personal and national ideas in expressive calligraphic and typographic words.
“Arabic Graffiti” brings together artists, graffiti writers and typographers from the Middle East and around the world who merge Arabic calligraphy with the art of graffiti writing, street art and urban culture. In addition to a rich assortment of photos featuring Arabic graffiti and street art styles, it includes essays by distinguished authors and scene experts, in which they explore the traditional elements, modern approaches, and the socio-political and cultural backgrounds which have shaped Arabic graffiti movements in the Middle East.

VISUAL CONCEPT > SITTENBILDER < EXHIBITION

Die Ausstellung SITTENBILDER vereint überaus realistische Schilderungen dessen, was Sitte ist, mit scharf formulierten Entwürfen zu dem, was wäre, wenn…

dying new world
combustion | vicemart | stolen innocence | naturalizing capitalism | dissociative | filthy green | dysfunctional | regurgitating imported vomit | toy soldiers | The “I” | choices choiceless | parasite | sour milk from the udder
