Visitors of all ages were invited to Madrasat Addeera to discover silkscreen printing – the unique artistic style that made Andy Warhol famous. These free, hands-on workshops taught how to create handmade silkscreen-printed artworks in the pop-art style.

Silkscreen Studio
Whether raising awareness about endangered animals, using art as a tool for environmental change, learning about heritage sites and conservation, or rethinking everyday objects, the Silkscreen Studio encouraged visitors to thoughtfully engage with this fun style of art in these hands-on workshops.

The Silkscreen Studio was a pre-activation of the FAME: Andy Warhol in AlUla exhibition by the Andy Warhol Museum which opened in February 2023 at Maraya. The workshops were developed in collaboration with educators from The Andy Warhol Museum, Pittsburg, USA.
