Ramadan: Porta Mosque


  • English
  • Arabic

On the occasion of Ramadan, Capsule Arts have released a new limited edition set of artistic prints by Emirati artist Khalid Mezaina. I love the way Mezaina combines graphic drawings with items you would normally expect to see drenched in tradition and this series is no different.

Porta Mosque is inspired by the temporary mosques that can be found across the UAE, from the construction sites of Dubai to the wadis of Fujairah. These makeshift structures have been a long-standing feature of Islamic architecture in the Emirates.

Get your hands on a limited edition print through the Capsule Arts website

* In the spirit of giving, 25% of the proceeds from the sale of each print will go to the Big Heart Campaign, a UAE charity dedicated to helping Syrian refugee children. This encompasses donations from both Khalid Mezaina and Capsule Arts.
