Major throwback 👀 "Dialect Dictionary" made in collaboration with Shaza Elsheshtawy. Supervised by Juliette Cezzar. Edward Said’s Orientalism presents the notion of “orientalism” - broadly, that the West projects an exotified, homogeneous understanding of the “orient” on to the Middle East. This project seeks to back up Said’s orientalist critique by illustrating textures of difference within the Arab world, precisely to illuminate just how heterogeneous the Middle East is. This project is anchored in digital scans of Edward Said’s manuscript. A selection of words from these scans are amplified to form a ‘dialect dictionary of difference,’ transliterating each word into three dialects (Classical Arabic, known as Fusha, Emirati and Egyptian) to illustrate textures of linguistic difference through pronunciation. We selected words based on what we were drawn to - especially words that were charged with culture, difference, and power. We chose to transliterate (a phonetic translation using the English alphabet and numbers that correspond to the shape of the letter in Arabic - also known as ‘arabish’) instead of to translate in order for the reader to ‘hear’ the pronunciation differences and similarities.

Throwback to the Typography 101 workshop I taught earlier this year at @toilandtinker 👀 it was my first time teaching and it was so much fun. Would love to have the chance to teach again!

A newspaper made for the Architecture Biennale in 2016 representing the UAE. The exhibition was curated by Yasser Elsheshtawy. A map was illustrated to display the curator's photo documentation of the various neighborhoods he visited around the Emirates. The images refer to exact locations to where the pictures were taken. The exact locations were shared by the curator using Google Earth to document exact pinpoints. The map was adapted to fit a catalogue version which features a fold out.

New interview out with @khaleejesque magazine 👀 where I talk about my inspiration and share some stories about my work.

Shapes I drew for the identity. 👀 It has been an absolute pleasure to have assisted on the visual identity for the Venice Biennale (UAE Pavilion) this year in collaboration with the talented duo Luke Gould and Joseph Pochodzaj 🙌🏽

New work 👀 Book designed for Nujoom Alghanem's "Space", 1984. Typed manuscript (reproduced in 2017) exhibited at the UAE Pavillion at @labiennale Nujoom Alghanem is a poet, journalist, and artist. Nujoom's ambitions extended beyond the sphere of literary forms. In her work she investigates simple ways of injecting visual strategies into the construction of her own form of concrete poetry. Her poems were not realized in print form in the manner she envisaged– publishing constraints meant that publishers were unable to match her sense of adventure. The empty pages of the book symbolize the rejection of her poetry style from various publishers.

New work alert! It has been an absolute pleasure to have assisted on the visual identity for the Venice Biennale (UAE Pavilion) this year in collaboration with the talented duo Luke Gould and Joseph Pochodzaj 🙌🏽

"Daloo3a" refers to a girl who is precious, delicate – even a little princess like in Arabic. 💅🏼🌸 Order from www.khalidiya.net
