RisoClub: Damascus Edition

A pack of 4 #risograph prints curated by Kinda Ghannoum in collaboration with the creatives Rama Duwaji, Nadine Ghannoum, Besher Alyoussef and Ranim Halaky. These postcards showcase a piece of their Damascus in print. Together, we celebrate the beauty of Syrian architecture, nostalgia, and culture. Inspired by the common longing for home, the artwork is a visual dialogue of our nostalgia for Syria. Illustrating expats’ cultural ties, it captures the essence of yearning for roots. The illustrations featured in the artwork are inspired by patterns found on the thin summer blanket: a staple in ever Syrian household that holds a deep nostalgic value to us. The typographic message, drawn from a poem by renowned Syrian poet Nizar Qabbani, translates to "My homeland, a poem of fire and roses." Qabbani’s verse encapsulates the complex emotions of yearning to return to Syria despite the inability to do so.
