This exclusive screen print was created from the embroidered textile work Escapes from a Locked Down Bedroom (2022), presented in the exhibition “Y’a Hamam Yalla Ma Tnam, Ma Tnam” at the Serralves Museum, on view from February to October 2025.

The piece reflects the singular language of Mounira Al Solh, characterized by the fusion of drawing, embroidery, and visual narrative, exploring themes of identity, memory, and cultural intimacy.

Printed on Fabriano 300 g/m² paper, 100% cotton, in an off-white tone, it features direct colors with the image properly framed.

Limited edition of 150 copies, each numbered and hand-signed by the artist.

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.
