“It was only natural that Jinniyat Lar, a series of paintings by the Saudi Artist Shadia Alem, be brought to the attention of Al-Mansouria. We sought to multiply their message into two hundred copies to be carried to as many as two hundreds different destinations. We thought that the Jinniyat ought to reveal themselves in more than one language. We chose the writer Raja Alem, Shadia Alem’s sister who shared with the artist the same cultural and mythological background.”
