Memphis Stage - Hall 10
Book covers are considered an important gateway to attract public attention to reading the book itself, and they are also an artistic work in themselves.
Participants will draw a book cover for their life story, where each participant will be the hero of their story. Through the workshop, participants will be able to create a title for the book that reflects the stage or description they want to express about themselves.
This brief workshop will encourage children to express themselves and attempt to present themselves and write their stories in the initial form they dream of.
In Collaboration with Al Hudhud Publishing and Distribution.
Visual Artist
Aysha Saif Al Hamrani was born in Ajman, United Arab Emirates, in 1991, and is popularly known as @Mnawrah.
She enjoys Emirati pop culture, and makes it a point to translate that culture into art. Aysha dreams of converting her talent into a valuable contribution towards her society as an inspiration to others. She passionately believes that there are many hidden gems within our culture that are yet to be discovered and shared with the world.While Aysha's family and teachers have been very supportive all throughout, the main turning point was when she actually shared her drawings with the public through social media platforms in 2005. Technology made it easier for Aysha to interact with people, all of which excited her and motivated her to become more productive in regards to the Kind of art projects that fulfil her society's needs.
Aysha is a self-taught artist who greatly relies on the internet to learn new skills. She also uses tools such as the iPad Pro that perfectly suits a “nomad artist” like her - who tries to balance between her mundane routine and unwinding through creating art to share with the world by a simple tap!
