Our Story
At Project Riwayah, we tell the stories that history forgot.
Not through words, but through art.
Our mission is to revive and reimagine the legacy of the Eastern and Islamic worlds: the empires, thinkers, and dreamers who shaped civilizations. Every piece in our collection begins as a story, a moment of courage, discovery, or defiance.
Our prints carry memory: the ink of scholars, the dust of journeys, the glow of forgotten cities. Through this, we hope to reignite pride in heritage — not as nostalgia, but as inspiration. Our artwork isn’t only for display; it’s a quiet act of remembrance, an invitation to learn, and a reminder of who we were before the world told our story for us.
Our collections travel across time. From the Golden Age of Islam, where knowledge illuminated the world through the House of Wisdom and scholars like Ibn Sina and Al-Khwarizmi, to the Colonial Resistance series, capturing defiance from Delhi to Khartoum. We celebrate women who led nations and founded universities, poets who challenged power, and civilizations that thrived on learning rather than conquest.
Each print is accompanied by an educational insert of a short historical reflection that places the artwork in context. These notes are written to inform, to spark curiosity, and to offer depth beyond aesthetics.
Project Riwayah is built on independent research, creative direction, and a deep respect for historical truth. Every artwork is carefully conceptualised, fact-checked, visually refined, and designed to balance authenticity with artistic imagination. The aim is to create work that feels both timeless and meaningful. Art that belongs on a wall, yet speaks of something far greater than decoration.
Our goal is to create art that revives memory, dignifies history, and helps us rediscover identity through beauty.
