1001 Fantasy Pop Nights
The result of a collaboration between me (Sara Al-Afifi), Latifa Al Kuwari, Reham Ahmed, Sarah Elawad, and Nathan Ross Davis, the fantasy pop zine uses text from the original Arabian Nights stories and remixed imagery from the Sheikh Faisal Bin Qassim Al Thani Museum (FBQ) in Doha. This book is the first screen-printed book to be produced in Qatar, and is printed with two glow-in-the-dark inks, silver metallic and green. This publication was sponsored by an Undergraduate Research Grant at Virginia Commonwealth University School of the Arts in Qatar.
Available in the Artist Book Collection at the Thomas J. Watson Library at the MET, the New York Public Library, the Arabic Collections at the British Library, the Tai Kwun Art Center in Hong Kong, the Asia Art Archive in Brooklyn, the Yale School of Art Library, and the Graphic Arts Center in Portland, Oregon.
