Calligraffiti 2006 - 2015 Installations & workshops A collaborative workshop using Arabic text in a large-scale graffiti like manner. Using Arabic sayings on communication as a base, calligraphy, the Arabic language and graffiti were explored and combined. The concept was first produced as part of ‘Tate Loud’ under the theme ‘Conflict and Resolution’ at Tate Britain in September 2006. It was an all day drop in session with 2 intense workshops, getting youth to work with Arabic text, inks and scrolls in a large-scale graffiti-like manner. In 2009 it was exhibited in the XIV Biennale of Young Artists from Europe and the Mediterranean, Skopje, Macedonia as a two-week collaborative installation including 2 intense workshops and a video. In 2015 two Calligraffiti workshops took place and a non-stop workshop in Caisa’s lobby as part of Women’s Day celebrations. Created in collaboration with London youth, artists at the biennale in Macedonia and youth from Myllypuro high schools Commissioned and presented by Tate Britain, Biennale of Young Artists from Europe and the Mediterranean and Caisa Cultural Centre
