The Bekh [Spray] Stencil Book
Issue 1
Imad Shawa and Mike V. Derderian
Produced and Handbound by
Issue 1
Bekh is a limited edition manually bound stencil book that is the �rst in a series of stencil collections we hope to publish periodically.
The project bore out of passion for stencil, an untapped mode of expression in the Arab world. On one hand you have the internet, a vast world of free information where all can participate, and on the other hand you have traditional media, where the message is con-trolled by a select few. Enter stenciling and gra�ti. Stencil gra�ti takes the best from both worlds: 1. Anyone can do it; and 2. visibility is huge!
This medium of expression is at its most powerful when done on large public surfaces (usually illegally) for an entire community to see. Stenciling as "gra�ti" is perhaps one of the more exciting art forms in transmitting a message. There is an element of de�ance that is unique and that's what lends it its charm.
This �rst issue of Bekh features artists from Lebanon, Egypt, Jordan and Palestine. And each copy of this edition was made with sweat and tears, and long nights of cuttings, aligning, drawing and bind-ing. We hope you enjoy it and tell your friends about it.
If you get inspired, do your own stencil art and most likely you'll be featured in the next issue.
