Installation

Abdul Rahman [2013]

For two days audiences of the Open Studios at the Ashkal Alwan Home Workspace Program were able to sit and read the multimedia publication Abdul Rahman. The text in its final iteration can be found here.

Warm lighting and nice whiskey were offered alongside the reading experience. The limited-edition publication was designed by Studio Safar and installed in the Ashkal Alwan library flat and uncut, giving readers a more pronounced, participatory role in approaching and unpacking the narrative.
