Shada Safadi explores photogravure during her residency at La Escocesa with the project “Birds That No Longer Wish to Migrate”

As part of her residency at La Escocesa, artist Shada Safadi carried out a personalized workshop in April at the Manera Negra printmaking studio, led by Maria Pujol.

Photogravure is a contemporary intaglio printmaking technique that uses photopolymer plates. It offers a safer, less toxic, and faster alternative to traditional etching methods. Shada experimented with digital images and photographs within the framework of her project Birds That No Longer Wish to Migrate.

This residency is made possible thanks to the generous support of the Alserkal Arts Foundation.
