Approximately: 15.5” x 11.5” About Qastina During his visits abroad, artist and designer Ayed Arafah would regularly phone his mother and ask her for recipes; she would then dictate the right instructions. Arafah was trying to cook his favourite dishes, and he was left with many scraps of paper with recipes on them. Back in Palestine, he translated these into handwritten memos and drawings, and screen-printed the artworks onto cotton fabric woven in Al Khalil/Hebron. Ayed Arafah turns this culinary heritage into beautiful and useful daily objects. As a Palestinian refugee in Bethlehem, he keeps Qastina – the village he originates from – alive through these Qastina Designs.
