Inspired by the printing techniques and the themes advanced in Printed in Jerusalem: Mustamloun, the workshop will explore methodologies for developing works in print. Participants will develop their own works through a variety of printmaking techniques and methods, including collage, mono and lino printing. They will explore the potential of repetition and transformation through printing while drawing on a range of themes from the city, the environment, identity, and the human body. They will work in groups to produce designs that communicate messages about their personal experiences and how they relate to the socio-political scene in Palestine.
