ALPHABETS REFLECTIONS is the title of the artistic project that combines Arabic calligraphy and Western writing. The work SE is made with four hands with the use of different techniques cal-cografiche, and investigates the conceptual couple ” Doubt as Reason”. The choice of 7 pairs of concepts on which the artists worked was the first step of a research work to show, but at the same time recompose, through an innovative game of “lettering”, the rifts between Islamic and Western culture.
In my interpretation every press is the result of several steps and elaborations in the printing phase; working with Usama Saad on the concept of “Doubt as Reason”, I decided to play on the double meaning that in Italian has the word “If”. IF as maybe, and IF as themselves; for me keeping the SE at bay – in all senses – is always an adventure.
I graphically constructed the word SE in its repetitions and with the choice of multiple matrix printing I did not set limits to the printing variables. I chose not to choose in the series of possibilities offered by colors and their overlaps and to give space to all the expressive hypotheses that attracted me and convinced me.The work therefore consists of several works forming a Suite, with different tonal modulations of the same subject, and is not unique, but happily multiple and interchangeable.
A selection of the works -assembled as suites- was exhibited in the exhibition “Alphabets Reflections” art and writing otre the borders, which was held from October to January 20121 at the museums of Villa Torlonia, dependence of the Casina delle Civette, in Rome; under the patronage of the Capitoline Superintendence of Cultural Heritage.

PRESS RELEASE
In the Dependence of the Casina delle Civette the exhibition “ALPHABETS REFLECTIONS art and writing beyond borders”, 26 works, born from the collaboration of artists from different countries, testify to the research of a common language on the art of engraving. From 20 October 2021 to 16 January 2022, promoted by Roma Culture, Capitoline Superintendent of Cultural Heritage, under the patronage of the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome, Institutum Romanum Finlandiae, Cultural Institute of Iran – art and culture of Persia and Polish Institute of Rome, will take place in the Dependence of the Casina delle Civette, Museums of Villa Torlonia, the exhibition ALPHABETS REFLECTIONS art and writing beyond borders, which presents a choral work on the theme of writing where the culture and visions of artists from different countries could compare and find a common language in the experimentation of the art of engraving. Museum services of Zètema Progetto Cultura.
The 26 works made with four hands all contain a double creative identity. The Arabic calligraphy, created by Usama Saad, Italian-Egyptian artist, has been used as a fifth symbol that welcomes the marked individuality with which artists from Bangladesh, Canada, China, Finland, Iran, Italy, Poland, Tunisia and USA intervened with their own techniques, styles and different alphabets. The initiative testifies how an artistic community – which welcomes different worlds and a collaborative artistic practice – can contribute to overcoming the fear of confrontation with something stylistically and humanly different, and thus create a vision of making creative communication open to dialogue and able to read contemporaneity.The exhibition, organized by the Cultural Association Stamperia Ripa 69, curated by Ursula Bonetti and Usama Saad, will be accompanied by a series of educational activities dedicated to the different techniques of engraving, including workshops for children and adults.
