Political cartoonist Mohammad Sabaaneh leads a linocut workshop inspired by the prints of Mohammad Omar Khalil. Sabbaneh will introduce the technique of linocut and provide advice throughout the making process. The participants are invited to respond to Khalil’s exhibition Homeland Under My Nails – Selected prints 1964-present by exploring the aesthetics of the colour black and by experimenting with print as a multilayered and rich medium.

The workshop takes place from 12pm – 4pm, tools and materials are included in the workshop cost.
