The Palestine Museum US is honored to present two artists who adopt calligraphy to make art.  

Mais al Azab designs architectural installations and designs pavilions in Amman and Jordan’s Eastern Desert, and calligraphs Arabic poems, encasing them within geometric borders to merge ancient and modern art forms.  She is the recipient of a Fulbright grant and awards during her tenure at Harvard’s Graduate School of Design and Jordan University, with exhibitions in Amman, Cambridge, Mass., Shanghai, Beirut, Amman, Madrid, and now at the Palestine Museum US. 

Artist, Author and Professor Fayeq Oweis, Ph. D., has presented on Arab American Artists, calligraphy and Islamic art, and designed the entrance murals and calligraphy at the Arab American National Museum in Dearborn, Michigan, co-designed the first Arabic/Islamic mural in San Francisco and was the lead artist for the Edward Said mural at San Francisco State University, and founded the Initiative and Cultural Center in Ramallah to empower women in refugee camps through their embroidery.   

Please join us on Sunday on zoom or Facebook to hear directly and see the work of these eminent scholars and artists.
