Cover-ReReRe-book-2 -

Meet the publisher, the editor, and the UAE-based designers featured in the book.

The book has been described by Dr. Nada Shabout, Regents Professor of Art History, and Coordinator of the Contemporary Arab and Muslim Cultural Studies Initiative at the University of North Texas as:

“Revealing Recording Reflecting: Graphic Women from Southwest Asia and North Africa is a unique intervention to further subvert the canon that has largely excluded the “other” from modern innovations. […] This book is an excellent addition to scholarship in the field of modern art and design in the Middle East, and gender and women studies, as well as global modernism. The project specifically fills a wide gap in the literature and information about Arab women designers and their contributions in the region and the larger context of design history.”

The book has been produced with the generous support of the Khatt Foundation and the Arab Fund for Arts and Culture (AFAC).

The book will be on sale at Hobb Design & Visual Culture Bookshop
