Join teaching artists Joyce Hom and Nic Annette Miller for an online participatory drawing workshop presented in American Sign Language (ASL) and inspired by our current exhibition Ibrahim El-Salahi: Pain Relief Drawings. Born in 1930 in Omdurman, Sudan, Ibrahim El-Salahi is one of the most significant artists in African and Arab modernism. Drafted on the back of medicine packets, pill bottle labels, envelopes, and scraps of paper, El-Salahi’s intricate pen and ink Pain Relief drawings serve as a form of respite for the 92-year-old artist, who finds diversion from his chronic pain through his daily drawing practice. Inspired by Arabic calligraphy, as well as Surrealist figuration and geometric abstraction, El-Salahi created a distinctive visual language that he expresses most prolifically in drawing. Please note this online workshop will be in ASL with no voice interpretation. It is free and open to the signing community.
