FRIENDS PEACE SANCTUARY Project Catalog Swarthmore College Paperback 2019

Description: For sale is a gently used copy of Friends, Peace, and Sanctuary. Written in English and Arabic, this book is the culmination of a project based at Swarthmore College in Pennsylvania in conjunction with the Pew Center for Arts & Heritage. Driven by questions about displacement and refuge, history and experience, Friends, Peace, & Sanctuary explored art’s capacity to build empathy and create a deeper sense of belonging through bookarts and exhibitions from 2017 to 2019. Artistic Curator, Suzanne Seesman, worked closely with designers GDLOFT to create a catalog that reflected the processes and goals of the project. Filled with images from the project, this catalog is a toolkit for replicating such a project. It is a completely bi-lingual catalog that can open from the left to read in English and open from the right to read in Arabic. The catalog features essays from the project team, as well as external contributors such as Hammam Aldouri, Islam Aly, and Marshall Weber. “The book structure attempts to reflect issues of displacement and immigration by melding two books (stories) into one. The book(s) shares a common cover while housing two book blocks… the design attempts to express the experience of finding commonalities and differences akin to the refugee experience through design and layout.” The book shows light wear overall, and is clean and unmarked. The item pictured is the item you will receive. Payment within 48 hours of the end of the auction is appreciated. Thanks for looking, feel free to ask any questions, and happy bidding!
