Sawt al-Arsheef is a series of articles written by researchers, scholars, and practitioners in response to materials in al Mawrid’s Arab Art Archive. These commissioned essays highlight a particularly compelling document in the archive with a close analysis of the text in relation to other scholarly engagement with the collections. For this series, we also invite custodians of artist estates to provide personal accounts of managing and maintaining collections. Through this series, we hope to activate the Center's archive highlighting its diverse content of primary documents. 

This series is edited by al Mawrid's researcher Dina Taha.
