Queen Rania and Princess Rajwa visited the Naqsh Collective workshop in Amman. Naqsh Collective was founded by sisters Nisreen Abudail, an architect based in Amman, and Nermeen Abudail, a graphic designer based in Dubai. Of Palestinian descent, the sisters established Naqsh Collective in 2009, drawing inspiration from traditional aesthetics such as Islamic patterned calligraphy, Palestinian embroidery, and contemporary art.
The name 'Naqsh' means 'to engrave' and reflects the idea that engraving is one of the oldest ways humanity has left its mark or told a story. The Abudail sisters have participated in national and international events, exhibited in numerous museums, and were finalists for the Jameel Prize 5, awarded by Victoria & Albert Museum in London.
