WORKS OF ART UNTIL MAY 10 LINES OF LIGHT Albareh Art Gallery The first group exhibition of the art works of Bahrain Women Printmakers is open at Albareh Art Gallery, under the theme ‘Lines of Light’. The exhibition is organised by Jehan Saleh Printmaking Studio. Lines of Light features the works of the seven members of Bahrain Women Printmakers: Dawiya AlAlaweiyat, Mona Al Moataz, Zakeya Zada, Mayasa Al Sowaidi, Marwa Rashid Al Khalifa and Lina Mohammed Kamal, as well as works by founder and exhibition organiser, Jehan Saleh. Bahrain Women Printmakers is a unique initiative that came about organically in the studio of Bahrain-based Egyptian artist and art educator, Jehan. As artists trained with her to learn the techniques of linocut, collagraph, woodcut and monoprint, a number of them came together naturally, learning and producing art together, critiquing each other’s work and developing a passion for the medium.
