These three new blankets, designed by Lebanese graphic artist Tracy Chahwan, were originally part of the exhibition “Do Arabs Dream of Electric Sheep.” |

TRACY CHAHWAN is a cartoonist and illustrator from Lebanon. She started her career in Beirut, producing street art and posters for local independent music venues like the Beirut Groove Collective, and working with the Samandal and zeez comics collective publishing experimental comics and anthologies. In 2018, she published her first graphic novel "Beirut Bloody Beirut", a story of two girls lost in the Beiruti night. After the Lebanese revolution in October 2019, she turned to journalistic comics, collaborating in books such as "Guantanamo Voices" and "Where to Marie? Stories of Feminisms in Lebanon". Tracy’s work is marked by the radical and collaborative energy of the artistic scene in Beirut, where she worked actively the past years before she moved to the U.S. in 2019. Photo by Saif Almusawi |
