From Sketching to Zine-Making: Documenting Sharjah’s Souqs

With Jordan Cortez
Ages: 17+

Immerse yourself in Sharjah's traditional souqs. Begin with quick observational sketches to capture the essence of your surroundings, including the architecture, array of people and interactions between vendors and shoppers. You will transform your drawings into zines that encapsulate the spirit of the souqs.
