Daret al Funun’s Summer Academy 2026
29.7 x 21 cm

So grateful to have been part of this extraordinary journey in Amman, a month and a half spent reflecting on artistic practice and standardization. An A4 sheet of paper alone was enough to set our minds spinning!

It was a rich experience full of exploration, questions, readings, and the pleasure of sharing it all with incredible artists, mentors, and resident cats.

Grateful for the chance to think, and eat, alongside my fellow participants, and for the sessions with our mentors: Nour Bishouty, Lobna Al Sana, Mais Fareed, Khaled Hourani, Adel Abidin, and Sanabel El Far.

Thank you, @daratalfunun for this opportunity.
