This captivating print is a jewel from the collection of esteemed award-winning artist Shatha Altowai. It is a vibrant celebration of identity, music, and self-love, designed to resonate deeply with those who have experienced the journey of migration or the feeling of being newcomers in an unfamiliar land. Altowai masterfully intertwines memories and cultures, using the intricate texture and rich heritage of Middle-Eastern traditional drum, specifically the duff, as the backdrop for the figures in her artwork. The carefully chosen patterns of the costumes evoke a warm atmosphere, creating a harmonic echo that invites viewers to immerse themselves in the shared human experience of adaptation and belonging.
 
This series of artworks is a standout project from Altowai's collaboration with the acclaimed music band 'The Other' in Edinburgh. This partnership was part of a project celebrated with the Diversity and Inclusion Award by the City of Edinburgh Council. The artwork series debuted at the Festival of Migration 2023, hosted by Art27Scotland in Southside Edinburgh, where it was projected behind the band during their live performances. The dynamic integration of the artwork with the music's pace and rhythm offered a mesmerizing visual experience, perfectly complementing the band's narrative and enveloping the audience in a captivating sensory journey. This print not only embodies a profound message but also stands as a testament to a momentous collaboration that bridged art, music, and cultural diversity, leaving a lasting impact on all who witnessed it.
