This tote bag is not just an accessory but an extension of the Lebanese artist and her exhibition, reflecting key themes in her work—memory, resistance, and identity.

Made from high-quality organic cotton, it combines durability and comfort with a sustainable commitment. Perfect for everyday use, it allows you to carry not only your essentials but also a piece of Al Solh’s artistic language.

The merchandising for Mounira Al Solh’s exhibition reflects the essence of her artistic practice. Just as the Lebanese artist uses textiles, embroidery, and personal objects to tell stories of migration, feminism, and identity, these products—directly linked to her works—become extensions of her artistic universe. Inspired by the vibrant colors and figurative compositions in her work, this line transforms the exhibition experience into something tangible, prolonging its impact beyond the gallery space.

Titled Y’a Hamam Yalla Ma Tnam, Ma Tnam (“Oh Dove, Don’t Sleep, Don’t Sleep”), after a popular lullaby in Lebanon and Syria, the exhibition brings together works that have never been shown together before, creating a unique narrative that explores Al Solh’s deep engagement with micro-histories and political action. At the heart of the exhibition is Nami Nami Noooom, Yalla Tnaaam (“Sleep, Sleep, Sleep, Let’s Sleep”), a powerful large-scale installation that anchors the emotional and narrative flow of the show.

Mounira Al Solh was born in Beirut in 1978 and currently lives between her hometown and Amsterdam. Her artistic practice spans video, installation, painting, drawing, textiles, text, and performance. Her work navigates complex social and political landscapes, focusing on feminist themes, micro-historical narratives, and the effects of conflict and migration. Al Solh’s approach merges social engagement with a unique blend of political critique and poetic escapism. Rather than adopting a documentary style, her works often lean toward fiction and, at times, the fantastical, incorporating oral histories, interdisciplinary collaborations, and wordplay to explore intimate narratives—especially those of women. These works sensitively and empathetically investigate themes of resistance, displacement, loss, and memory, creating a body of work that resonates emotionally and invites audiences to reflect on the contemporary challenges faced by marginalized communities.
